I really wanted to like this hoodie, but it just did not work for me. The material was not soft enough for me for a next-to-skin layer (and I wear lots of merino wool as base layers). The bigger problem for me is the EXTREME length, both in the body and the sleeves. I am 5'3" (short but not absurdly short, I don't think) and it fit like a tunic on me. It even looks a tad ridiculous on the model in the picture, so you know it's got to be long. And the sleeves were incredibly long, especially given the extra length to accommodate the thumb holes. Wish Icebreaker would make this in a normal length.

I wholeheartedly agree with the previous reviewer, this jacket is perfect! I love Icebreaker products in general, and this is no exception in terms of quality of workmanship and material. I wasn't sure what to expect of the "GT 260 terry" fabric, because the various weights & weaves of wool can vary drastically; this one is smooth & stretchy on the outside with a fine French terry loop inside. I've worn this in a light drizzle and the hood actually kept my hair dry, which was a pleasant surprise as it doesn't claim to be water repellent.
I wear a 10/12 top and ordered this in a Large, which fits perfectly (it's not as loose as shown on the model, but I don't believe it's intended to be); I have plenty of room to move freely in this jacket without looking sloppy. Love it!

Honest reviews on Icebreaker Women's Crush Hood
I was looking for something soft and warm to wear when out in that San Francisco foggy weather. Since I often wear short sleeves the fabric didn't feel the best against my skin so I returned this.

i got a grey size small, fits perfect--slightly loose, not tight but not baggy (just like picture). sportier than a normal "sweatshirt." pockets are functional. sleeves and length are long, falls just above thighs in front. fabric is thinner than a normal sweatshirt, but warm. i layer it under my jacket/coat on colder days, or wear by itself when less cold. is standing up well to frequent washings :)
