Is this a hoodie or a shirt?

It is a hooded long-sleeve shirt with a full front zip, lighter than a fleece hoodie. Treat it as a layer or a warm-weather top.

How does the relaxed fit run?

The relaxed cut leaves extra room through the chest and body. Shoppers who want a closer fit often go down a size.

On its own, no. The Force fabric is light, so it works best as a base or mid layer under a jacket in cold weather.

Force is Carhartt's line of lighter, breathable workwear meant for warm conditions and active use. This piece follows that brief.

The long sleeves and hood give arm and head coverage for yard work and outdoor jobs. It is not a substitute for dedicated sun-protective gear.

Yes. The full zip and hood make it a practical everyday top as well as a work layer.
