Comments about REI OXT Fleet Hoodie- Women's:
I have a couple of these shirts, and overall, I like them. They are very comfortable, lightweight, and keep me warm (but not too warm) on my runs. The cut is flattering, and it does size a bit looser (like a "baby tee"), so order your regular size.
The reason I gave this 3 stars only is that it retains my sweat smell! I don't really sweat that horribly, nor smell that badly, but after wearing this for 3 runs (washed after each one) in 80 degree weather (so not too bad), it comes out of the laundry smelly. I put it on, and it smells. Really surprising because none of my other stuff does this. I emphasize, I'm not an abnormally sweaty/stinky person...
I've started to wash it on hot, adding vinegar and oxy-clean, and drying it on warm/hot, disregarding the fact that this will break down the fabric more, but that's only helped a little bit. I've also started spraying it with Crystal deoderant spray in hopes to anti germ it. Not too successful. :(
I wish these were anti-microbial or anti-bacterial or whatever. For the price, getting only a couple months' wear (running 3-4 days/week) before having to throw it out is a waste!
Oh, also, I got caught in the rain a couple times, and thought, woohoo! I have a hood! But the hood is way too large/loose to stay up while walking, much less running, without holding it tight on your head. So it's more there for standing still hoodage, or for novelty.

Comments about REI OXT Fleet Hoodie- Women's:
I disagree with the previous reviewer--the colors on this are great! The design on the fabric is really bright, and the green is a nice, leafy green--not the boring pastel lime I've seen in a lot of other tech shirts. It's really lightweight, packable, and breathable, too--I'd wear it on a hike and not be afraid to be seen at lunch in a restaurant with this on afterwards.
However, this shirt is not as 'athletic cut' as it says. I'm a petite 5'4" and like form-fitting clothes for running, but sometimes order mediums in running shirts to accommodate layers and my long arms. I ordered a small here, and it's quite roomy--I'm glad I didn't order a size larger. Sleeves are a great length. The shaping seams do give it some shape, but it's not really form-fitting or as figure-flattering as other running shirts I own. I really wish it had a zippered pocket, too! No pockets at all, and no ports for mp3 players.
I was also surprised about HOW lightweight this is. With a t-shirt under it, it's practical for a spring or fall workout, but probably wouldn't cut the wind and wouldn't be warm enough for runs in truly cold weather. It is great for slightly chilly weather and for hiking, though--it's a nice, breathable fabric and doesn't snag like other tech shirts I've had. Would recommend, but not exactly for what I bought it for.

Comments about REI OXT Fleet Hoodie- Women's:
The weight of the Fleet Hoodie is like running naked! The hoodie offers decent sun protection with minimal weight, high breathability, and a cute relaxed cut (definitely loose, aiding breathability, hiding sweat marks), but the light weight comes at the price of ZERO wind protection and zero warmth.
As noted by another reviewer, the Fleet Hoodie retains odor like no other! After the second wearing (and second washing), the fabric is just plain stinky. I perspire a lot when I work out, but have never had problems with any other tech fabrics creating and retaining odor as much as this one. Finally I just soaked it in diluted "Nature's Miracle" pet stain remover (enzyme cleaner) and the stink is less noticible, but still there. It's a shame, too, because it's a super cute sun-protective top to wear with the Fleet Skapris and I was planning to use it for summer sun protection for golfing, too.

I use this shirt to protect my skin from sunburn while I am horseback riding. I love it. It fits well and is sliming. The purple color is very nice; not too bright. I'm sure that I will get lots of wear out of it during the sunny days in Colorado. It has worn very well and washes up easily. It is nice to wear sun protective shirts that are attractive as well.

Comments about REI OXT Fleet Hoodie- Women's:
For medical reasons, I was searching for a top that had a high UPF rating, but was lightweight enough for South Florida. This top is great. I'm able to wear it comfortably even outdoors in the humid summer weather, which is not often the case when wearing a long sleeve top. I also love the style and the color, but do agree with other reviewers that it does run a bit large. I'm going to put in another order for one size smaller and keep this one to wear over other tops.

Comments about REI OXT Fleet Hoodie- Women's:
I love this shirt. I just developed a skin reaction to UV and can't be outside unless I'm covered or have really good sunscreen for a short time. I got this for hot days when I wish I were in a tank top. It's great - cool, colorful, and covered. The sleeves are long, which is good because they cover most of my hands. The fit is great - fitted, but loose. I can still feel summery. I'm 5'3" and bought the small in purple. Saving up for the green one. No complaints!

Comments about REI OXT Fleet Hoodie- Women's:
I am about 5'5" and often have trouble finding clothes that fit right since I am fairly broad shoulder and an athletic build, but my arms are short (petite). I found that this fit great and the thumb holes were just in the right spot. I have the medium in hydrangea and just ordered the tarragon too. It is a nice length and is fitted but a little lose, just like I prefer. I wanted to be able to wear a tank under it so I like a little extra room, but if you wanted it fitted I would order a size down. REI has done it again and I will be looking for these again.

This does run large so all you have to do is order one size down. I like that it's not tight-fitting like everything else these days. It's extremely comfortable and lightweight. I wear it over my tennis clothes on the way to the court or on the airplane as a light coverup. I've gotten many great comments.

This is a great fitting shirt. I am 5'7 with a small/medium frame and got a medium. I like my workout clothing a little loose though. I wear this running or lounging around the house. The material is lightweight and takes the chill off. I originally got this shirt in the purple, and loved it so much I am now awaiting for the blue to arrive! The print on the material is unique for sports wear, and the colors are vivid for spring.

Comments about REI OXT Fleet Hoodie- Women's:
I got blue print- it's beautiful. This does run a tad big- I usually wear a small in REI tops and got an xs in this. I'm a 36a/b. I've worn this running and hiking in cool weather and it's very lightweight and breathable. The hood is really too big to be functional (comes off) while you're active unless you have a hat over it to keep in place. Dries quickly after sweating/washing. Cute top!
