The verdict
Fit
Youth cut runs true to labeled size. Santa Barbara lines typically have a standard fit—not oversize, not slim. Good for typical school-age builds.
Quality
Beach Fleece is thin for weight but adequate for the age range and price. Expect fading faster than pilling, and moderate durability over a season or two.
Is the price fair?
Budget tier appropriate for youth wear. The clearance pricing makes it a good deal if it fits your kid; regular-price youth hoodies run similar quality.
Best for
Parents buying a warm casual layer for school or play, not planning to pass it down.
Care
Warm water is fine for youth fleece; tumble dry on low to moderate heat.
What owners report about Next Level Apparel hoodies
Next Level's hoodie range is a blanks line sold mainly for printing, and buyer reports are largely positive on feel: customers describe the flagship 7.4 oz fleece as very soft and fitting as expected, and a wholesale blanks comparison found it holds up well after multiple washes with minimal shrinkage, fading, and pilling. The cotton-rich fleece is also noted for breathability and clean print results at a low per-unit price. The recurring complaint is the pullover's angled two-part front pocket, from which contents easily fall out, plus a narrow colorway selection.
- Strengths
- Soft, cotton-rich fleece at a low blank-apparel price that reportedly washes well — minimal shrinkage, fading, or pilling — and prints cleanly.
- Watch out for
- The angled two-part front pocket on the pullover lets contents slip out easily, and color options are limited.
- Sizing
- The flagship pullover is a fitted cut that still reads relaxed thanks to its elastic-free waistband; owner reviews report it fitting as expected.
