i was initially scared to spend more than 100 dollars for a hoody, but this hoody is well worth it imo.  very warm and comfortable, feels thick and lush months after usage.  i almost always wear this hoody on a day to day basis, and it doesn't stink.  at least my coworkers haven't complained about it.  as i mentioned before, this hoody is not really wind resistant, so i usually throw a wind breaker over it on late night bike rides.  i live in southern california, so i really can't say it gets very cold down here, but, it has been cold lately (around 37-40 degrees fahrenheit ) and this hoody has performed well here (coupled with a wind breaker of course)
