The verdict
Fit
Designed for children's proportions with a zip front. The bolt print graphic suggests a playful, statement fit—expect typical kid's sizing with a roomy, durable cut.
Quality
Kids' line construction—durable enough for active play and frequent washing. Standard fabric weight and basic seaming without premium finishes.
Is the price fair?
Fair pricing for a kids' branded hoodie with a graphic print. At $158, it sits slightly below the adult line, reflecting typical kids' category pricing.
Best for
Active children who want durability and a fun graphic statement—works for everyday play, school, and casual outings.
Care
Machine wash warm, tumble dry medium; graphics may fade with excessive heat, so avoid hot water and high-heat drying.
What owners report about Aviator Nation hoodies
Owners consistently describe these hoodies as exceptionally soft, with a fleece-lined interior, and say they get worn constantly. Pilling is the most repeated complaint — reviewers report it shows up quickly even with air drying — and one reviewer found the tri-blend fabric on the thin and flimsy side for a hoodie priced around $189. A repeat buyer notes the cut has changed over recent years, running less fitted than it used to, and can vary between colorways of the same style. Heavy wearers still tend to conclude the cost per wear justifies the price.
- Strengths
- Very soft, fleece-lined fabric that owners wear constantly — comfort is the one point nearly every review agrees on.
- Watch out for
- Pilling appears quickly even with air drying, and reviewers also mention thin-feeling fabric, a gritty zipper, shallow pockets, and a cut that has shifted between years and colorways.
- Sizing
- Sizing is unisex and reports conflict — one reviewer found them true to size while another says they run small — and recent cuts run roomier than older ones, so check current measurements before ordering.
