Our take
H&M's Relaxed-Fit hoodie nails the current oversized look at a price almost nobody else matches, and that's the whole pitch. Owners say the silhouette photographs well and the fleece is soft from new. The fast-fashion trade-offs are predictable: thin fleece that pills, drawcords and cuffs that wear early, and a colour that fades within a season. Sizing is inconsistent between drops. It's a trend hoodie to wear out, not a piece to keep.

How H&M hoodies hold up overall
Owners describe H&M hoodies as soft-lined, easy daily wear that delivers more than the low price implies, and long-term posters report pieces surviving three or four winters of home wear. The most consistent durability note is that the brushed fleece interior flattens and hardens after repeated washes, even though the outer fabric holds up without going bobbly. Reviewers also flag that weight varies a lot across the range: standard pieces are mid-weight, while the premium blank line is a genuinely heavy 460 gsm loopback cotton.
- Strengths
- outer fabric resists bobbling for the price; the premium blank line is heavyweight (460 gsm loopback cotton)
- Watch out for
- brushed lining loses its fluff and hardens with repeated washing; fabric weight differs widely between lines
- Sizing
- relaxed-fit styles run generous but not oversized — one reviewer calls the fit "not too big, but is generous"
