Free Fly Men's Bamboo Lightweight Fleece Hoodie Review: The Perfect Travel Hoodie That Works Everywhere

I’ve been testing this Free Fly lightweight bamboo fleece hoodie across different scenarios, and my first impressions are really positive. It’s already showing the kind of versatility I look for in travel gear.

Why this hoodie works for everything

I like oversized hoodies but not for every occasion. I like a mix of presentable hoodies and something to throw on after a run or around the house. The Free Fly hoodie is along the lines of the presentable one, hitting that sweet spot where it can double as work-from-home attire and day hiking apparel when I’m out on the trails with Becca and our kids.

The fit is exactly what I want in a travel hoodie. It’s fitted without being tight, and the raglan sleeves give you unrestricted arm movement whether you’re typing at a coffee shop or scrambling up a trail.

The softness factor

The softness is unmatched in Free Fly’s fleece products (like, it’s seriously so soft!), and this lightweight hoodie is no different. It’s soft both on the outside and the inside, with the bamboo viscose on the outside creating that buttery soft feel. The fleece interior is perfection for cold mornings.

Sizing and fit

For the size, I’m a perfect size M in Free Fly and I find that usually their size M is quite standard.

This hoodie hits true to size: fitted, hitting a good spot on the hips and reasonably-sized shoulders and armpits. The three-piece hood comfortably contours the shape of your head without feeling restrictive, and the kangaroo pocket keeps your hands toasty during those chilly morning hikes.

First impressions verdict

This is my first impressions of the product, and I’m already impressed with how versatile it is. The lightweight construction makes it perfect for travel, and the brushed fleece warmth means it’s comfortable in a wide range of temperatures.

The bamboo viscose material feels premium without the premium price tag, and the 4-way stretch means it moves with you whether you’re working from a hotel room or exploring a new city. The kangaroo pocket is a nice touch for keeping essentials close during travel.
