Description of Blurr Core Hooded Full-Zip Sweatshirt - Women's:
The crew at Blurr understands how good the friction gets when temperatures drop, so they made the Women's Core Hooded Full-Zip Sweatshirt to help you stay toasty between sends. This Blurr hoody provides warmth that your cotton sweatshirt can't come close to thanks to 100% fleece construction. Zip up the front, pull up the hood, and slip your hands into the warm pockets to keep your fingers toasty and ready for the next crimp-fest.
I'm not sure if the jacket/sweater warrants the price tag it's got, there's nothing technical about this jacket. Granted it never claims to be anything but a fleece, but you'd think for this price it would at the very least be wind resistant.
However, having said that, it IS a warm cardigan (I wear it indoors). It's got a flattering cut, and pretty true to sizing. I'm in between a XS and S in most brands (5'4" 112lbs), and opted for S in this and it fits well, maybe a wee bit looser than I'd like as I would like to layer this underneath my down vest or my jacket. XS might be a bit too tight, though.
I got the 'vanilla', and it's a very pretty color, but having a black cat, it's probably not the best choice.
All in all, it's a nice fleece for late spring or early fall, but not technical enough to warrant the hefty price tag.
Scored this off steepandcheap last summer and has been my favorite hoodie ever since. Sizing seems normal, but larger chests/long torsos beware: the asymmetrical seam isn't the most flattering and overall it can seem a tad short. Warmth is comparable to other fleeces. Large hood fits nicely over a ponytail or hat. Love the color (green). The sleeves show wear and pill early on, but mine isn't too bad after a year of near constant wear. Overall, I love it!
