The Jerzees NuBlend Full Zip Hoodie is a 50/50 Cotton-Polyester chassis with a density of 8.0 oz per linear yard. This "NuBlend" technology is specifically designed to provide high pilling resistance, with tests showing about 15% better performance than standard generic blends after 20 washes. The high-stitch density weave provides a smooth surface that is durable for high-frequency utility. Features include an aluminum zipper assembly that demonstrates lower snag rates than some plastic alternatives.
While the high polyester content prevents the garment from shrinking in 40°C cycles, the 8 oz thickness is intended for moderate temperatures rather than sub-zero insulation. The fit is calibrated with a "Classic" bias, providing a generous torso length that is suitable for XXL users. However, the elastic waistband has high memory retention and may feel restrictive if the wearer is at the top end of the size bracket. The drawstring eyelets are reinforced with stitching rather than metal grommets, which is a standard utility-grade construction.
For a hoodie with a heavier weight and metal zipper, the Hanes Ultimate Heavyweight provides nearly 10 oz of fabric density. To organize your household utility items, check out our utility shelf organizers.
