The sweatshirt is of very questionable quality. The sizes are fine, according to the chart, the stitching is straight and high-quality, BUT the quality of the fabric itself is very poor. I took the sweatshirt in light gray, 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 the backpack were immediately visible—the fabric just sheds and pills like cheap synthetic cloth. I hope this is only a problem with this particular shade of gray. I would like to try other colors, but I'm worried about the quality. I never had such issues with sweatshirts from Carhartt, Helikon or Columbia during this kind of use.

Alpha Industries Basic Sweater - Dark Olive
A versatile sweater made from a durable blend of materials: 80% cotton and 20% polyester. Thanks to its sporty fit, it provides full freedom of movement, while the elastic ribbing on the cuffs and hem effectively protects against the cold and wind.
High quality material - 80% cotton, 20% polyester
The blend of 80% cotton and 20% polyester results in a lightweight fabric that is damage-resistant and dries quicker than fabric composed entirely of cotton.
Elastic ribbing
The ribbing on the sleeves and waist effectively prevents puffing up while keeping you warm. In the hip belt area, near the ribbing, there is a distinctive red tag with the words “Remove Before Flight”.
On the front of the sweater, on the chest, there is a white manufacturer's logo, which adds to its distinctive style.

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've been using the sweatshirt for a long time and have never had any problems with it.

The color is extremely beautiful, I really like this shade of green. The sweatshirt is warm, comfortable, and made from high quality material. It's the best sweatshirt I have worn so far. It is definitely worth trying.

I praised it so much in my previous opinion. Unfortunately, after the first wash at 30°C, by hand and in a gentle detergent, with delicate spinning, the sweatshirt became completely pilled! Now it's only suitable for working 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 wide in the shoulders, which is an advantage for me. You have to be careful with the size – for example, the M65 jacket in size L is perfect, but for this sweatshirt, I would even take XL! I’m curious how the material will hold up after washing... Overall, I recommend it and rate it 10/10!
