Highly versatile, light and beloved jacket
The Factor Hoody works perfectly in a big range of conditions so I’m constantly wearing it. I’m 5’9” and 145-150lb and in 2021 I bought size small (my usual size is medium). In the Wasatch it’s my go to layer for skinning with a synthetic t-shirt base underneath (note: I run cold). On colder days it is an essential part of my layering system. It breathes really well. The waffle fleece keeps it light AND warm. I also love the pockets. They are so handy and perfectly placed, including the little chest pocket. The jacket is an awesome length in waist and arms. I find a lot of women’s athletic gear is a bit short. I love it so much, and it fits so well, that I also use it as a daily driver around town :) For all these reasons, it’s probably one of my top 3 pieces of outdoor clothing.

Perfect!
I ordered this hoody for a climbing trip where we will be doing big multi pitch routes, starting early in the morning. This is the perfect piece for chilly mornings and it’s a zip up, so easy to shed. There are two hand pockets and a chest pocket. The hood is the perfect size, not too big or too small. Overall, the hoody looks great and is warm! Fits true to size.

Perfect except for a couple of small things
The hoody is a heavy duty fabric, not as stretchy but more windproof than is typical fleece. The wool is not apparent, but it's only 5%. I have worn it a lot but not washed it yet. Fingers crossed it won't pill. It fits well: medium on my somewhat busty 5'4" 130 lb. The hood is a bit loose around my face and there are no thumb loops or holes, even though the description includes them. I like that the sleeves are tight enough that I can push them up and they stay in place on my skinny forearms when I wash my hands, etc. Much better than most - can be really annoying with these longer sleeves. The orange colour is like salmon. Maybe it should be called "lox"!

Cozy
Wow, I love this hoody! It feels cozy and fleecy without being bulky. I ordered my usual size (S) and it fits a little large, but that makes it great for layering. It’s also kind of long. I’m 5’2 and the length looks nice and isn’t too tight on my curvy hips. I didn’t realize that it has a little lined grid pattern on the exterior until I received it — but I like the unique look that gives it. I’d buy it again if you make more colors!

Perfect fit and stretch
Durable, quick-drying, and designed for layering - it's slim-fit and stretchy so there's no bulk or bunching as I add layers (and additional hoods). And it's designed to cover hips so there's no "riding up" under a pack. Get it!

Comfortable and breathable
I like that it’s long and the hood fits well under my helmet. Comfortable and easy to move in

Zipper broke again immediately after a warranty repair
So I want to love this fleece , and I would , but the zipper on the pocket came off my first or second time wearing it. I sent it in to be fixed, I got it back two months later. I wore it for the first time after it was replaced today, the zipper fell off 15 minutes into my hike. So not sure if these have issues with zippers being defective . I however will say it’s unbelievably warm, I can hike with just this over a base layer until it’s down to like 10 degrees. I do run warm however. It’s the perfect balance of warmth and breathable. I don’t feel like the wind blows through it super easily which is also nice. It’s long enough that it covers some off my butt, the the sleeves are decently long too which I like. The hood is also very cozy. Another thing though , the edges around the sleeves and the bottom are already a little messed up after a few wears. I have the black diamond mitts and the second even the smallest part of the Velcro inside those catches the fleece it pulls at it a lot. It’s like a Velcro magnet . Haha. Anyways, mixed feelings about this. I want to love it, but the durability is terrible. Definitely not the same quality as my synthetic jacket, puffy jacket, shell or mitts. Black diamond, you kind of let me down with this one. Really hoping they’ll do something to resolve this.

Fits good
I like that it doesn’t have noticeable logos all over the hoodie. It fit well and washes great and still looks new every time.

Super warm and comfortable
This jacket is a very comfortable layer that does not add bulk. It is super warm and the length is so nice on a tall girl.

Warm and fits perfectly
Bought this for my wife to wear on our Alaska trip.... it’s already being used. Fits perfectly for a base/fitted piece and is very warm for being so light weight. She loved it.
