Browse all Aviator Nation hoodies →WMPO BIRDS NEST 2025 ZIP HOODIE - HEATHER GREY
The verdict
Fit
Zip hoodie cut is slightly more fitted than the pullover equivalent. Heather grey is forgiving and resists visible wear marks.
Quality
As a 2025 model in 2026, construction is comparable to current event merch—adequate but not premium. Heather grey colorway hides fading.
Is the price fair?
At $143, this is the lowest event-merch price in the batch, likely due to age and limited size availability (XL/XXL only). Fair if you find your size.
Best for
People who missed the 2026 drops and don't mind last year's design.
Care
Heather grey is durable color-wise; standard cool wash and tumble dry low.
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.
