American Giant zip-ups: what owners report

Owners describe American Giant's zip-up range as unusually heavy and durable for a cotton hoodie: one reviewer wore his Classic Full Zip for almost two years and called it a fantastic purchase from day one, and reviewers note the thick 13-oz combed ringspun cotton, YKK zippers, reinforced elbow patches, and a double-lined hood. Reviewers judge it rugged and technically sound but flag that the dense cotton is not very breathable and the zippers do not glide particularly well. Price comes up repeatedly as the main hesitation, with owners deciding the durability justifies it.

Strengths
Heavyweight ringspun-cotton construction that owners report holds its shape and keeps performing after years of regular wear and washing.
Watch out for
Reviewers note the dense cotton runs warm and breathes poorly, the zipper track can feel drafty in wind and does not glide smoothly, and full retail is high for a hoodie.
Sizing
The Classic fit is slim and V-shaped while Relaxed runs much roomier (a Relaxed medium has the same chest as a Classic XL), and the all-cotton fabric shrinks in the dryer, so a slightly large fit out of the box settles after the first wash-and-dry cycle.
