Full-Zip Hoodie (Midweight Terry)
About Reigning Champ’s zip-ups: Reigning Champ's full-zips are athletic-luxe benchmarks — premium Canadian-made loopwheel or midweight terry, clean logo-free design, gym-to-street.
Is the price honest?
Our take
Reigning Champ's full-zip is the zip counterpart to its benchmark pullover — premium Canadian-made midweight terry, clean and logo-free, with a smooth zipper and construction that holds shape through heavy wear. Owners single out the fabric and the precise cut. Reviewers rate it among the best-made zip-ups available. The critique, as always, is price: $165 for a zip-up is a serious premium, and the logo-free aesthetic means you're paying for cloth and construction, not status. Owners who value that repurchase.

How Reigning Champ zip-ups hold up overall
Reviewers who have owned Reigning Champ zip-ups for a year or more consistently describe the materials and construction as top notch, with tightly knit loopback terry that keeps its shape through regular wear. The heavyweight fleece reportedly arrives stiff — one reviewer compares it to cardboard out of the box — and takes a season or two to soften, while the midweight is comfortable from day one. The cut runs longer and slimmer than an average hoodie. Recurring complaints center on small handwarmer pockets, rib cuffs that flare or stretch with use, and a two-way zipper that works smoothly but feels rough against the hand.
- Strengths
- Owners report durable, tightly knit fleece with knit cuffs said to outlast typical elastic, and construction that still looks right after a year-plus of ownership.
- Watch out for
- Cuffs flaring or stretching is the most-cited wear issue, the heavyweight starts stiff, pockets run small, and several reviewers question paying full retail.
- Sizing
- The cut runs longer and slimmer than an average hoodie, so reviewers advise sizing from your measurements and body shape rather than defaulting to your usual size.
