Is French terry warmer or lighter than fleece?

Lighter. French terry has a smooth face and looped back, so it breathes better than brushed fleece but insulates less.

Can I wear it in winter?

As a mid layer, yes. On its own it suits mild weather better than freezing days.

Does it have a full zipper?

Yes, it is a full-zip hoodie with a hood and front pockets.

How should I wash it?

Machine wash cold and tumble dry low to limit shrinkage and keep the terry loops from matting.

Hanes lists it as regular fit. Some owners report it fits differently than expected, so check the size you normally wear in Hanes.

Our take on the Hanes French Terry Hoodie Full Zip Sweatshirt

A women's full-zip hoodie in midweight French terry, a lighter, less bulky knit than fleece. The full-length zipper makes it easy to layer over a tee or under a jacket, and the hood adds coverage without a heavy feel. It suits casual wear, travel and cool-weather layering. Against fleece hoodies it trades warmth for breathability and a trimmer drape, and owners rate it well for everyday comfort.
