In what could be the absolute closest head-to-head battle in Gear Patrol history — literally, I changed my mind on the winner three times — the Nike Sportswear Club Fleece Pullover won by a hair thanks to its sleek, sophisticated design and construction and the versatility of the fabric.

In this article we are going to take a closer look at Champion hoodie sizing so you have an idea of how Champion hoodies fit. We will take a specific look at the popular Champion Powerblend Fleece Pullover Hoodie, and how it fits me. Champion Hoodie Sizing Champion Powerblend Fleece Pullover Hoodie Both hoodies are side-seamed for durability, which is a major plus that some may not consider. But if you plan on wearing a sweatshirt of any kind for a considerable amount of time, you’ll want that extra bit of fabric to avoid splitting a single seam straight down your armpit. From a style perspective, I like Nike’s better because it seamlessly (I’m sorry, this pun was intended) blends in with the fabric on the rest of the hoodie while Champion’s is built from ribbing. The reverse weave construction on Champion's, however, will prevent fabric shrinkage over the thousands of washes the garment will face. Those benefits are more long-term and are only really reaped if you really beat your hoodie up. Nike's shrunk minimally, so I wouldn't worry much here.

In general, most types of Champion hoodies fit true to size, but it can vary a bit depending on what type of hoodie or sweatshirt you choose. Here’s what you need to know: The decoration of any Champion® garment with the Champion marks (including the C Logo) or the proprietary marks, names, or logos of any collegiate sports teams or collegiate institution is expressly prohibited.

To determine which hoodie was the best fit (no pun intended) for your situation, we compared them based on four factors: fabric, fit/construction, the “deets” (finer details) and price. Let the head-to-head begin. Overall Winner: Nike

It’s the little things, right? The ones that make you think, “Do others actually care about these details or am I really that OCD?” Well, it’s probably both, to be honest, but for the sake of this comparison, I’ll be your scapegoat, OK? Let’s start with the big one — the drawstring. Listen, if you are ever thinking of making your very own pullover hoodie, let me give you one tip; make sure it has good drawstrings. While the Champion hoodie has metal eyelets to prevent the hole from ripping, the drawstrings are tied at the ends with some fraying that will surely become untameable after a few washes, so they leave a little to be desired. The Nike pullover, while eyeletless, has nice, flat drawstrings with stitched ends. Perfect for a pretty bow.

While both hoodies have a fairly similar fit and construction, there are some very subtle nuanced differences that dragged this battle down to the wire. Again, as we discussed earlier, Champion hoodie sizing will fluctuate a bit depending on the specific type of hoodie you choose. This article is to give you a clearer idea of how Champion hoodies fit, by taking a specific look at their most popular option (the powerblend hoodie).
