M's Loma Hoodie

Great Hoodie…

As a hoodie nut I really like this one a lot! I wear it while playing platform tennis (outdoors in the winter) and I find myself overheating while playing… so it is warm. Hood is a little snug but I imagine that’s so it can be worn under a helmet which doesn’t apply to me. Still works well over a baseball cap tho. So far I’m very pleased with this purchase!

Could it be better?

I live in Colorado where a particular mountain brand is sort of a status symbol for how "local" you are. This company requires an appointment 6 months to a year in advance, in person, in Leadville CO. What a pain! I own several of their products, and noticed the changes in quality as their company grew but did not expand. Piling from new sweaters, less options to choose from, less colors, longer wait times, on and on. Everyone agrees that the old ones were better. I saw the Fayettechill Loma at my local Gearhead and noticed the similarities immediately. Mostly the same fabric, same basic layout, made in the USA. Guess what? gosh it might be better! I just took it for a rainy weekend camping trip and the thing is warm, no piling issues, and I got it in less than a week after ordering it online. One knock is the lack of zipper garages, my beard gets stuck in the top of the main zipper sometimes. While I will miss out on the local cool guy status with the fayettechill, I am very satisfied.

Great addition

Have used this mostly for active outdoor activities like winter tennis etc… fits well. I’m 6ft 200lbs and the medium fits well. Sleeves and overall length are just an inch longer than I’d prefer but certainly acceptable. Overall good value
