I live in northern California, where temperatures seldom drop below 40. This sweatshirt is perfect for the climate - not too heavy and not too light. The fit is excellent (I'm 6ft, 213, with broad shoulders, and I bought the XL), the fabric breathes, AND it passes the clothes dryer test - very little shrinkage. And for the price it's a great value. I'll be getting rid of my heavier Champion sweatshirts now that I've found these.
