Love itThe quality of the hoodie was great but it did run very large! We ordered the smallest size but it still was way to big!Bought as a Christmas gift for my outdoor loving son.Good quality, size was true. Only hesitation, they are dry clean only. That makes me question their usability for rugged outdoor use.Got this for my 25 year old son for Christmas and he loves itI want so much to love this hoodie. It's soft. It's nice and thick. The colors are fun. It seems like it's well made. But the chemical smell seems to be insurmountable. I have washed it 4 times, using various combinations of laundry detergent, fabric softener, vinegar, and baking soda. I've aired it out for weeks. The smell has diminished some, but it's still bad enough that I don't want to wear it. It stunk up my apartment so badly that I ended up putting in the trunk of my car. I guess I will keep it there for emergency use, and maybe a few years down the road it will have off-gassed enough to be wearable...?I really like this Baja hoodie but it is too big. I already ordered another one in a different color in a size large and that one fits much better and I can still wear a sweatshirt under it for extra warmth. The hoodie is warm and soft. Had a little of a weird smell to it but nothing that some airing out or washing will not cure. The other thing I do not care for are the two tie strings at the v-opening. They really serve no purpose in my opinion. It’s not like I am going to try to tie those two big strings of fabric together. I will probably be cutting those off. Overall I am very happy with this product but just my suggestion is to size down because they run pretty big.I ordered this hoodie (color: the bold one) thinking it would be mostly blue, but the colors are so different from what I expected that I checked the package label against my order page to see if I had received the wrong one. That said....I like the one I received better than the one I thought I was getting. LOL It has lots more hot pink and orange in it and even some brown and dark khaki. Took one star away because the color is not as pictured, but the item is awesome on all other details. Very soft inside and out. True to size. (5’6” / 135 female - ordered small) Very deep hood. Thick enough to be cozy, but not heavy to wear. Love it! Note: Washed it last night. Cold/delicate with Gain detergent and fabric softener. “Chemical” smell is completely gone.And not one single person , has done anything but brag ,and brag ,and brag on them. Everyone loves them . And they have started buying them. These are the ""THICK""" ones ,the heavy duty ones . Twice as thick as the other guys. We mistakenly bought another one. It was a joke!!!!! No comparison , thin , seriously a joke compared to these . I actually hate reviewing these , and I've held off , because """I Know """ once people buy one it won't stop there !!!!! And the PRICE ,will jump up. It always does. Supply and demand. These have a very soft ,warm lining . ""Huge"" kangaroo pocket.And a full hood. You will never ,ever ,regret buying one of these ,trust me on that.""WARM""" , these are made for cool , cold , days . Or if you're cold bloodied , like me and the wife . LOVE THEM !! !Peace.
