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.

A year-round sweatshirt without a hood, crafted from a blend of cotton (80%) and polyester (20%). The material is light and soft to the touch, and the added polyester ensures it dries quicker than a fabric made entirely of cotton.
Heat retention is ensured by welts on the sleeves, collar, and waistband, while the sporty design of the sweatshirt maintains unrestricted movement.
The chest features a prominent Alpha Industries logo in black. The print retains its color both in the wash and through extended 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'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!
