Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between GSM and total weight?

GSM measures the fabric density per m². The total weight also depends on size and cut and isn't comparable between brands. That's why we transparently publish the GSM value.

Are 800/850 GSM hoodies too warm in summer?

For everyday wear in midsummer, yes – our 400 GSM model is the better choice. The 800/850 GSM models are ideal for cool evenings, the mountains, winter, and as a jacket replacement. We provide clear temperature ranges for each model.

Are your hoodies unisex and how do I find my size?

Yes, all hoodies are unisex. Use the size calculator on the product pages, our size charts with body size examples, and model photos to find your perfect fit.

How quickly do you deliver and how much does it cost to return?

Orders placed before 3:00 PM will be shipped the same day via priority mail and will usually arrive the next business day. Shipping and returns (30 days) are free.
