My son wanted a cool hoodie that wasn't so warm. This is perfect. It is NOT for cold days, but cool, less windy days where a jacket would be too warm. It has been washed 3 times and so far seems perfect. I is a slicker, thinner material. Thick like winter shirts used to be 30 years ago. It could be worn as an extra warm shirt in colder climates. Older sibling wanted to know what to get her 15 yr old bro. I recommended anther since he wears this one 4-5 days a week.
