The Spyder Super Soft Hoodie utilizes a high-density polyester-spandex blend, providing a "scuba-lite" chassis that offers a more structured hang than traditional cotton fleece. The 280-320 GSM weight is ideal for mid-weight performance, and the double-brushed interior is engineered for thermal retention. Features include high-tensile stitching at the shoulder yoke and bar-tack reinforcement at the pocket stress points to help prevent seam blowout. The athletic taper provides a more contoured fit than standard boxy hoodies.
The "Zip Up" assembly features a reverse-coil nylon zipper designed to reduce wind penetration, though it can snag on the inner storm flap if not operated carefully. Because the chassis is polyester-heavy, it is more likely to retain odors and requires frequent laundering or antimicrobial treatment. To preserve the synthetic elasticity of the spandex and avoid "polyester shine," it is best to use a cold wash and low-heat drying protocol. The hydrophobic nature of the blend offers better moisture-wicking than 100% cotton alternatives.
If you prefer a classic 50/50 blend that is highly resistant to surface "bobbling," the Jerzees NuBlend Hoodie is a reliable option. For better organization of your athletic and performance gear, check our freestanding gear organizers category.
