Product Information

Full details

The Filson Prospector Hood is designed for adult males seeking a durable and warm hooded sweatshirt for cool weather. Its key benefit is its robust construction using thick fleece for lasting comfort and heat retention. A potential caveat is its generous fit, which might require careful consideration for those preferring a more tailored look. This hoodie is built with a substantial 13-oz. cotton-blend fleece, featuring a lofted interior for warmth and a smooth exterior that resists pilling. It includes a drawcord-adjustable hood, a kangaroo hand pocket, and sturdy rib-knit cuffs and hem for a secure fit and shape retention.

FAQs

What is the primary material of the Prospector Hood?

The Prospector Hood is primarily made from a thick 13-ounce cotton-blend fleece, composed of 75% cotton and 25% polyester.

How does the fit run?

The hoodie features a generous regular fit, designed for comfort and allowing for layering underneath.

Can the hood fit over a hat?

Yes, the hood is designed to be large enough to fit comfortably over a ball cap, and it is drawcord-adjustable for a secure fit.

How should I care for this hoodie to prevent shrinkage?

To minimize shrinkage, it is recommended to machine wash cold with like colors and tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Avoid high heat during washing and drying cycles.

Does the fabric pill easily?

The hoodie is constructed with a smooth exterior surface that is designed to resist pilling, helping it maintain its appearance over time with regular wear and proper care.

What are the dimensions of the kangaroo pocket?

Specific pocket dimensions are not provided, but it is a standard kangaroo hand pocket designed for warmth and carrying small items.

Is this hoodie suitable for very cold weather?

With its thick 13oz fleece and lofted interior, it provides significant warmth and is suitable for cool to moderately cold weather, especially when layered.

Troubleshooting

Hoodie feels tight after washing.

Ensure you followed the care instructions, specifically washing in cold water and tumble drying on low heat. If shrinkage is a concern, consider air drying. The polyester blend offers some resistance to shrinkage, but excessive heat can still affect the cotton fibers.

Pilling appears on the fabric surface.

While designed to resist pilling, excessive friction or rough washing can still cause it. Try washing the hoodie inside out with similar fabrics. For minor pilling, a fabric shaver can often remove it. Avoid washing with abrasive materials like denim or towels with harsh textures.

Drawcord is difficult to adjust.

Ensure the drawcord channel is free of debris. If the drawcord tips are frayed, they may be catching. Gently pull the drawcord while adjusting. If it's too stiff, a tiny amount of silicone lubricant applied to the grommets might help, but use sparingly.
