Which should you buy?
At a $5 difference this is mostly about logo and look. Buy the Converse if you prefer the streetwear branding and can catch one of its frequent sales, since the fabric is close. Pay the extra $5 for the Half Dome if you want the slightly thicker fleece, the bigger hood, and a build reviewers say takes heavy wear, or if you just want the North Face logo. Either lands fine for a casual everyday hoodie.
