What does 400 GSM mean and why is it the perfect choice for Swiss weather?

GSM (grams per square meter) measures how dense and heavy a fabric is. The higher the value, the warmer and longer-lasting the hoodie.

  • Industry standard: Most hoodies are between 270 and 350 GSM. Thin enough for fast fashion, but too light for Swiss weather.
  • Our choice: 400 GSM per layer × 2 layers = 800 GSM total weight. It stands up to -10°C without being too thick.
  • Perfect balance: Our careful choice of materials guarantees the ideal balance between warmth, comfort and durability.

By using high-quality materials, we focus on quality that lasts, not on cheap goods that wear out quickly.

Our quality promise: If your hoodie doesn't win you over, you can return it within 30 days. Return shipping is free from Switzerland and Liechtenstein.
