How does the relaxed fit compare to a regular hoodie?

It is cut looser through the body and sleeves than Gap's standard fit, so it layers easily over a tee or light shirt. If you want a closer fit, consider sizing down.

Is it warm enough for winter?

It is midweight fleece, so it works well as a mid-layer under a jacket in cold weather. On its own it suits cool fall and spring days better than deep winter.

Will the fabric pill?

The brushed VintageSoft fleece can pill with heavy washing. Washing cold and inside out, and avoiding high heat, helps keep the surface smooth.

Does it have pockets?

It is a zip hoodie with a front pocket area typical of the style. Check the specific listing for the exact pocket layout.

How does it compare with Gap's heavier fleece hoodies?

This one is midweight and softer, aimed at layering and everyday wear. Gap's heavier fleece options are warmer and stiffer but less soft against the skin.

Our take on the Gap Vintagesoft Relaxed Zip Hoodie

The Gap VintageSoft Relaxed Zip Hoodie is a midweight fleece zip-up cut with a loose, relaxed fit. Its draw is the VintageSoft fabric, which Gap markets as extra-soft brushed fleece, and the full-zip front that makes it easy to layer over tees and under jackets. It suits people who want a soft everyday hoodie with room to move rather than a slim streetwear cut. Against basic cotton-blend zip hoodies, it leans on comfort and a roomier silhouette; reviewers rate it highly, though some find the relaxed cut boxy.
