This Relaxed Classic zip hoodie is as well-made, cozy and as nicely tailored as you'd expect from American Giant. As a non-tall person I'm particularly happy that it's shorter in the body than the original Classic Zip--the Classic is too long on my 5'7" self for my taste. The Relaxed version is indeed cut a bit roomier than the Classic, but it still looks tailored and flattering -- it's not a shap Paul · american-giant.com

Again, is there anything more comfortable than OV’s cloud knit? I love this hoodie (and have it in a couple of colors) and it’s absolutely my go to travel hoodie. Packs up small, doesn’t really wrinkle and is a perfect extra layer. One request: make a cloud knit zip up hoodie? PLEASE Katherine · outdoorvoices.com
