Why We Love This Deal
Between the record-breaking winter weather we’ve been facing and the inevitable start of the “spring” semester, now is the perfect time to snatch a new, cozy hoodie. And retailers know it—Old Navy, Nike, and Adidas are putting big discounts on their hoodies in hopes of wrangling the masses. But none of these brands' prices come anywhere close to this Amazon offering, which has select colors of these wickedly popular hoodies down to as low as $13.
Gildan Fleece Hoodie Sweatshirts are now marked down to around $13 in several colors. They range in size from small to 4XL and in price, based on your choice of size and color. The good news is that most are still under $18. These are a big, big seller among Amazon shoppers—they own the No. 5 bestseller spot among all men's sweatshirts and have amassed more than 85,000 five-star ratings over the years.
Gildan Fleece Hoodie Sweatshirt, From $13 (was $18) on Amazon
What Shoppers Should Know
- Sizes Available: From small to 4XL
- Color Options: 42, various prices
- Fabric: A 50% cotton, 50% fleece polyester blend
- Pocket Style: Kangaroo
- Best Use Case: This is an excellent hoodie for hanging around in, but you should feel free to roughhouse in it as well.
This is a cotton and polyester blend fleece hoodie with a brushed inside for a soft and cozy interior. It has a kangaroo pocket with a couple of inches of the bottom sides sewn up, making it a surprisingly capable pocket for object storage in addition to hand placement. The top also has a drawstring hood, and the interior uses a pull-away tag for your comfort.
There’s a lot to love about Gildan’s honesty here, labeling the item as a “hoodie sweatshirt” because, at its heart, this is a version of the brand’s equally low-cost sweatshirt, just with all of the wonderful trappings of a hoodie. But by no means is it “cheap” in a quality sense, and the company has put in the effort to earn Amazon’s “safer chemicals” tag, certifying the hoodie was made with human and environment-safe chemical processes. Believe it or not, good quality is the number one thing shoppers discuss when they review this hoodie.
The red (shown above) has a delightfully bold but neutral look, while other color options look vibrant in their own right. These hoodies will look fantastic with a pair of jeans or casual pants. The lack of branding, in addition to not making you a walking billboard, means you can easily add your own design to the hoodie, and Gildan does recommend it as a screenprinting base.

What Shoppers Are Saying
As one shopper put it, “Overall, these Gildan hoodies are reliable, comfortable, and well worth the purchase, and my husband wears them constantly.” They also said the hoodies don’t shrink, there’s no funky out-of-the-box smell, the thickness is just right, and they’re perfect for lounging around in or running errands.
Another who used words like "soft," "warm," and "good quality" to describe their Gildan hoodie said they washed their (colored) hoodie 20 or more times without it fading at all, adding, “I would choose these over my Nike hoodies any day!”
The Gildan Adult Fleece Hoodie Sweatshirt can be yours for as low as $13 right now, and the youth version has similar pricing for those who need something a little smaller.
