The verdict
Fit
Relaxed unisex zip-hoodie typical of Aviator Nation. Expect roomy shoulders and a comfortable body; standard sizing aligns with the brand's regular fits.
Quality
Mid-tier licensed merchandise. Fleece and zipper quality are typical for official team apparel; durability is adequate for regular seasonal wear.
Is the price fair?
189 USD is mid-range for licensed NFL zip-hoodies. The price reflects team licensing and Aviator Nation branding; no construction or fiber advantages justify further premium.
Best for
Patriots fans seeking official team zip-hoodies; collectors of team merchandise who prefer zip-closure silhouettes.
Care
Zip before washing to prevent the slider catching on other garments; wash warm, graphics inside-out, and lay flat to dry.
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.
