The Hoodie That Ended My Never-Ending Search I have a teenage son in a growth spurt that apparently has no end. Hoodies enter our lives, fit for a few months, and then quietly migrate to the younger-brother pile. I was beginning to think the perfect one was a myth, like a consistently clean teenage bedroom. Then we found the Rhone Base Training Lightweight Hoodie. He loved it immediately, as in wore it straight out of the bag. We bought more. He grew, because of course he did, so we ordered the next size and passed the originals down to his younger brother: one hoodie recommendation, two very happy kids. It is now in permanent rotation for the gym, golf, and hanging out with friends—and he would probably sleep in it if I let him. The lightweight 94% polyester and 6% elastane fabric is soft, moisture-wicking, and stretchy without looking loose or sloppy. The GOLDFUSION® anti-odor treatment also seems to help it stay fresher between washes, which anyone doing laundry for a teenage boy will understand is no small selling point. It machine-washes easily and consistently comes back into rotation before I’ve had time to put it away. The best endorsement I can give it is that we bought it again, then bought it again in a larger size. Growth spurts wait for no hoodie.
