Review on Crewneck Athletic Sweatshirt Medium - Champion: Top-Choice Men's Clothing for Active Lifestyles by David Hayden

I'm a fan of quality sweatshirts and I've decided to order some of the best. Now it seems I did a pretty compelling hoodie comparison test and thought I'd share the results. I bought 7 sweatshirts and all at retail price from Revain or the cheapest seller on the web. Each sweatshirt has been tested for construction integrity, quality, durability and weighed by the weight of the cotton and then priced by weight. In other words, how much are you paying per pound of cotton? Here are the results of three of the most famous crew neck sweatshirts. If you're looking for a durable sweatshirt with a super strong construction that's virtually indestructible, you need to check out the Kellsport Crew Neck Sweatshirt, which is actually 95% cotton and 5% poly, but the 5% poly is just blended into the fabric. fleece bottom. This outfit is unlike any other sweatshirt on the planet! With repeated washing, the running-in period lasts about a year, not survived unnecessary operation! Medium sweatshirt weighs 2.15 pounds - Price: $54.50 - Price per pound = $25.35 per pound. If you're looking for the best standard crew neck sweatshirt that's reasonably thick, 100% cotton, that's well tailored (although the quality isn't as good as Champion's six to eight years ago), then check out Champion buy - reverse weave sweatshirt (Champion made a "premium" reverse weave sweatshirt that was the best in the business as it was 15-20% heavier). This reverse woven version of the sweatshirt weighs 1.56 pounds for a medium sized sweatshirt. Cost: $24.09. Price per pound = $15.44 per pound. So you can see that the $15.44/lb Champion Reverse Weave sweatshirt is a significant bargain compared to Kellsport at $25.35/lb, but you have to keep in mind that Kellsport compares to a lighter weight Champion is super hard. Kellsport plays alone in the league! Finally the CottonMill sweatshirt. This sweatshirt definitely compares to the Champion in terms of 100% cotton content and quality workmanship, but the price is off the charts! It weighs 1.43 pounds for a medium size. Cost: $68. Price per pound = a whopping $47.55 per pound, almost double the price of the KellSport which is 43% heavier than the CottonMill. But the real comparison is between Champion and CottonMill because they are almost identical (except Champion is slightly thicker/heavier). When you buy a CottonMill sweatshirt, you pay three times what you would pay for a Champion sweatshirt. It's a complete journey into purification. I had no intention of making this comparison a public comment, but when I saw that the quality of the CottonMill just didn't deserve the high price I paid and was actually just a blatant overprice, I decided to return it , but they wouldn't take it back, so I decided to warn others about repeating the same mistake. So if you want indestructibility buy the KellSport, if you want the best price and above average reliability and durability buy the Champion 'Reverse Weave', if you want to look good, be warm and feel like a jerk, buy the CottonMill . This Men's Champion Maxi Crew Crew Sports Hoodie has been included in the comparison but is not listed above. He weighed 1.11 pounds - Cost: $21.17 - Price per pound = $19.07 per pound, so he lost to his big brother with "Reverse Weave" and was eliminated from the finals.
