Kyanite Hoody

This hoody is 5 stars out of the box, in theory I absolutely love it. Perfect cut, perfect fit, very comfortable, warm. Basically my dream hoodie. BUT, it has one fatal flaw: the external surface is SUPER fragile and prone to piling. After only a few months of casual wear and minimal washing, hang dry, it is piling in multiple places, most notably on the back of the sleeves for some reason. I am a technical fleece addict, I have multiple other pieces I use for outdoor actives, this one was purchased for casual wear. Now I feel like it is grubby and worn-out looking because of the piling, my dream has been destroyed. This is especially annoying because I was trying to buy this hoody for over a year while it was out of stock waiting for a refresh. In my opinion, this level of fragility is unacceptable in such an expensive garment. However, it doesn't have to be this way, for example I had a kyanite LT that survived 1 year plus of MANY washes before it even began to show signs the smallest signs of piling. I had a MEC technical fleece that survived years of washes and hard use without ever piling at all. I think the textile engineers need to go back to the drawing board with this fabric. In summary, on paper this is the perfect hoodie of my dreams, but it gets 1 star due to lack of durability of the outer surface. What a shame :(

Unfortunately I'm not happy with the new updated version The fit is not the same. Sleeves slightly shorter and the jacket feels baggier Will return it

I had my prior Arteryx fleece for 14 years. I replaced it with this and was worried that it looked too lightbut it's better in every way. Warmer. More breathable. No seams, so fewer tears. 5/5 recommend,

Good quality garment as ever - warm that the thinner lightweight hoody which is ideal for winter tracking mid layer .

On of the best all around sweatshirts I own. Comfortable to wear and warm. I have 3 Labrador Retrievers that need to be let out a lot for exercise and training. Through the cold of the Northeast US this winter this sweat shirt has kept me warm for short trips outside with the dogs. I like it so much I have purchased another.

Fantastic product , warm and a nice texture. Good fitting

It fit great very happy with this purchase with no layers i stay warm in about 40 degree weather great buy.

Phenomenal fit. Most comfortable piece of clothing I have ever worn. Warm, good stretch for mobility. Al around great product, and guaranteed to keep me using this brand.
