Rival Fleece Full-Zip Hoodie
About Under Armour’s zip-ups: Under Armour zip-ups run from the cotton-blend Rival Fleece to the warmer Storm and ColdGear layers — performance-leaning everyday training pieces.
Is the price honest?
Our take
Under Armour's Rival Fleece full-zip is a training-oriented everyday zip-up built on a brushed cotton/polyester blend that resists pilling and dries faster than pure cotton. It has an athletic cut, zippered hand pockets on most versions, and ribbed cuffs that stay snug. Owners use it as a warm-up and casual layer and praise the soft interior and the way it holds shape through repeated washing, with the trade-offs being a synthetic-leaning hand and a fit cut close for movement. It is positioned as performance-casual rather than a heavy lifestyle fleece.

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.
