Mountain Hardwear vs Everlane: which hoodie wins?
Both land in the mid tier — the Mountain Hardwear MHW Logo Pullover Hoodie at $70, the Everlane The Track Hoodie at $78, just $8 apart. Here's how they stack up, head to head.
| Mountain Hardwear | Everlane | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | $70 | $78 |
| Material | Cotton-blend fleece, ~9oz, brushed interior. | French terry cotton, ~11oz heavier weight; organic-cotton variant available. |
| Fit | Relaxed casual fit, true to size. | Clean modern fit, slightly boxy; true to size, holds a structured line. |
| Quality | Solid mid-tier — soft fabric and durable build; mid-weight cotton fleece. | Solid — heavier terry that holds shape, clean construction, minimal logo-free design. |
| Best for | A soft, recognisable outdoor-casual everyday hoodie. | Minimal, logo-free outfits and anyone wanting a structured heavier hoodie that holds its line. |
| Care | Cold wash and tumble low to keep the colour and soft hand. | Cold wash and hang or tumble low to keep the structured terry from softening out. |
This is the one pair with a real fabric difference. Mountain Hardwear at $70 is standard 9oz brushed fleece; Everlane's Track Hoodie at $78 is heavier 11oz French terry that holds a structured, slightly boxy line with a logo-free design. The extra $8 buys more weight and structure, not just a name.
$8 cheaper, soft brushed fleece, recognisable outdoor logo, relaxed fit
heavier 11oz terry, holds its shape, clean logo-free design, organic-cotton option
Which should you buy?
The $8 gap actually buys a different garment here: 11oz French terry that holds a structured line versus 9oz fleece that drapes soft and relaxed. Pay up for the Everlane if you want a heavier hoodie that keeps its shape and a minimal, logo-free look. Save the $8 with Mountain Hardwear if you prefer softer, lighter fleece and don't mind the visible logo. Everlane notes part of the price is positioning, but the heavier build is genuinely there.
