The "I Love Cross Country" hoodie is the first hoodie I have ever intentionally bought and only the second one I own (the other hoodie is a free goodie from a marathon)--I'm not much of a hoodie person. So I have a pretty high bar when it comes to loving a hoodie and the "I Love XC" hoodie comfortably clears that bar. It's a great purchase! I bought a medium (I generally wear a women's small or XS) because I think hoodies should be a little oversized. I find this hoodie to be comfortably roomy without looking like I am wearing a bag. It looks nice, not "big" on me. I appreciate the length--the hoodie is long enough for me to feel comfortable wearing it over leggings and not feel like my rear end is hanging out but it's not long like a tunic. The hoodie material is thick without being weighty and the inside is super soft. I love the design and I am looking forward to wearing this in the fall as I get my own runs in, chasing my boys all over their high school cross country courses. I've already gotten a couple of compliments on it and we aren't even to XC season yet! This is a quality hoodie with a fun motif; I highly recommend getting yourself one!
When I was younger I used to "torment" my Grandma with the "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer" song (all in good fun between us!). When I saw this design it reminded me of those memories but with a fun runner twist! As someone who is always cold, I wasn't sure about the 3/4 sleeves but while wearing the shirt I stayed warmer than I thought I would. The shirt is lightweight and blissfully comfortable. As someone who wears a women's small or XS, I opted for the size small; I probably could have gotten away with an XS but the little extra room allows for a layer underneath without being restricting (and, as someone who is always cold, I am sure I will be adding this layer in winter months). Definite five stars for this: very comfortable, fun motif, nice fit. 100% recommend.
Thank you Laura for the awesome review and the story to go with it! It definitely brought a smile to my face 😊 Hope you enjoy your gear for a long time to come.
It is so soft, fits great, and washes well! I need to get another that I can wear beyond the holidays!!!
Very soft fits great, definanatly would buy from them again
I’ve enjoyed all of the shirts I’ve purchased from Runnerisms. I just received my retro marathoner tank, and I love it. I’ll be wearing it in my upcoming marathon, the Dark Horse Ultra.
