Readers shouldn’t get the idea that these things are TERRIBLY made but in terms of scale of quality – attention to all the details and materials, I would rank SEV as follows:

1. Patagonia fleeces
2. Marmot fleeces
3. Under Armour (fleeces)
4. Target fleeces
5. SEV
6. Walmart fleeces.

Of course SEV has some very clever pockets.

Steve,

Thanks for the comment.

11 months after my original post, here’s where I’m at with the SeV hoodie: I never wear it. It’s a good idea that’s poorly executed – and I refer specifically to the materials used by Scott Jordan’s Chinese manufacturer.

I’d love to see something like this – perhaps without all the pockets and other B.S. – made with a material like Nike uses with some of their athletic wear. An example: this Therma-Fit golf pullover: http://bit.ly/btQuZa

Wonderful material, great feel, good looking. I’ll keep looking; until then, the SeV languishes in my closet. It’ll find its way to Goodwill before the end of the year, I’m afraid.

Thanks again for the comment.

I was lured in by the utility of this hoodie, but when I received it I was quite disappointed. The quality of the material was really poor, and the sizes run small so even though a size L in every other item of clothing I have purchased is more than ample, in this case it was from day one too snug to do much with. And the placement of the iPhone pocket made it impossible to use if you were ever in a middle seat on a plane. This item is not worth the money, I have sent mine back and would not recommend the fleece hoodie at all. Maybe some of the other products are better.

cma,

Thanks for your comment – suddenly the Burton hoodie seems less attractive. I’ve often thought that a simple golf vest or “regular” fleece pullover often works best.
