Armour Fleece® Storm Women's Hoodie
The verdict
Fit
Women's Train-line fleece runs athletic but not tight; true to size, with a size up if you layer underneath.
Quality
Storm is the brand's water-repellent finish on its technical fleece, and the combination typically handles drizzle and wind well; the repellency fades over many washes.
Price check
Mid-tier price with a genuine functional add over the plain version for a few dollars — reasonable value if you actually train outside.
Best for
Women who run or train outdoors in light rain and cool temperatures.
Care
Wash cold without fabric softener and tumble low; brief low-heat drying helps revive the water-repellent finish.

Fit check: Under Armour
True to sizeUnder Armour's everyday lines fit true to size with a deliberately roomy, athletic-loose cut rather than a tailored one.
Owner reviews of the core Rival Fleece hoodies and joggers repeatedly land on "true to size," with the cut described as loose and comfortable rather than baggy — several hoodie owners say to size down only if they want a trimmer fit. Sizing guides likewise report the brand fits true to your usual size once you pick the right cut, since Under Armour labels pieces by cut (loose vs. fitted vs. compression) and the fitted and compression styles are intentionally much snugger than the casual gear. Reviewers note the tees and tops run long and boxy rather than fitted, and a minority of jogger buyers found the slimmer athletic cuts snug enough to size up.
Sizing advice: Order your usual size in the casual fleece, tees, and joggers — size down only if you want a closer fit in the roomy cuts, and expect the fitted/compression-labeled styles to run much snugger by design.
