Warm hoodies: which hoodie really keeps you warm?
Temperature guide, GSM explanation, material information & buying advice – find the right hoodie for winter & everyday wear.
Many hoodies look cozy, but are merely flimsy fashion statements. Here you can find out which grammage (GSM), materials, and constructions really keep you warm. Our interactive temperature finder helps you choose the right model based on the outside temperature.
Short temperature guide
- Extrem Kalt (0 bis -15 °C): Doppellagige Heavyweights (800–850 GSM), oft mit einem Base Layer für maximalen Schutz.
- Kalt (-5 bis +10 °C): Einlagige Heavyweights (~400–500 GSM) oder ein 800 GSM Hoodie ohne zusätzliche Schicht.
- Kühl (+5 bis +15 °C): Ein hochwertiger Midweight Hoodie (300–400 GSM), perfekt für die Übergangszeit.
Dies sind Richtwerte. Dein persönliches Kälteempfinden sowie Aktivität, Wind und Feuchtigkeit spielen eine wichtige Rolle.

Häufige Fragen (FAQ)
When is a hoodie considered warm?
Hoodies with a weight of around 350 GSM or higher are considered warm. Double-layer models (2×400 GSM) are significantly more insulating. Material and construction also play a role.
Does a higher GSM value automatically mean better quality?
No. GSM measures the weight per m². Quality also depends on fiber length, knit/weave, and processing.
How do I combine a base layer and hoodie?
In cold weather: wear a thin base layer next to your skin, then a hoodie. On very cold days, consider an additional mid-layer or jacket.
Is an 800 GSM hoodie suitable for everyday use?
Yes, especially on cold days. Note the heavier weight (approximately 1.3–1.5 kg) and bulky feel.
How do I properly care for heavy hoodies?
30°C, inside out, mild detergent, no fabric softener, air dry. This preserves the shape and weight.
What certifications do your hoodies have?
