The jumper is of very questionable quality. The sizes are fine, as per the chart, the stitching is straight and of good quality, BUT the quality of the fabric itself is very poor. I got the jumper in a light grey colour and it started to pill and shed immediately. I wore it carefully, under a jacket. I wore a backpack over it once, and the marks from it were instantly visible—the fabric just comes apart and pills like cheap synthetic cloth. I hope this is a problem only with this particular grey colour. I would like to try other colours, but I worry about the quality. I have not experienced such issues with jumpers from Carhartt, Helikon, or Columbia when wearing them in the same way.

A year-round hoodless sweatshirt, made of a blend of cotton (80%) and polyester (20%). The fabric is lightweight and pleasant to the touch, and thanks to the addition of polyester it dries faster than 100% cotton material.
Welts located on the sleeves, collar and waistband prevent heat loss, and the sports cut of the sweatshirt does not limit freedom of movement.
A large Alpha Industries logo in black has been placed on the chest. The print does not lose color in the wash or during prolonged wear.

A typical Alpha brand sweatshirt – it provides warmth and comfort during everyday use. The material is durable, and the print does not wear off even after several years of wearing. I have been using this sweatshirt for a long time and have never had any problems with it.

The colour is incredibly beautiful, I really like this shade of green. The sweatshirt is warm, comfortable and made of high-quality material. It's the best sweatshirt I've worn so far. It's definitely worth giving it a try.

I praised it so much in my previous opinion. Unfortunately, after the first wash at 30°C, by hand and with a delicate detergent, with gentle spinning, the sweatshirt became completely bobbled! Now it is only suitable for work in the garden or garage. It's a shame, because it was nice and warm :(

The sweatshirt is very warm! The stitching and craftsmanship, as always with Alpha Industries, are excellent! The sweatshirt is broad in the shoulders, which is a plus for me. You need to be careful with sizing – for example, the M65 jacket in size L is perfect, but I would even choose XL for this sweatshirt! I am curious how the material will hold up after washing... Overall, I recommend it, I rate it 10/10!
