What does 500 GSM mean for the heavyweight zip-up?

GSM (grams per square meter) measures how dense and heavy a fabric is. The higher the value, the more material goes into every square meter.

  • 500 GSM: One square meter of the fabric weighs 500 grams. That figure describes the fabric, not the weight of the finished hoodie.
  • Fleece inside: The inside is brushed. This makes the fabric soft and dense.
  • Blend: 60% cotton and 40% polyester, washed after sewing for a soft feel.

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