I need a mid-weight hoodie. Do you have a favorite one?
Like a lot of people who are now working from home permanently, I've become a fan of wearing a hoodie around the house during work. The weather's getting better, so I no longer need the heavy weight hoodies I have been wearing (Champion Reverse Weave hoodies, mostly), and I need something a little lighter.
I live in Portland, so what I need is a hoodie for, well, today: it's about 57F right now, at 1.45PM, and it's gonna be low- to mid-60's for a high. So the super warm hoodie is too much, but the super thin style like this isn't quite warm enough. So I need the Goldilocks of hoodies - not too warm, not too cold.
I prefer zip up, but I'm also open to pullovers if they're the right weight. Money's not really an object up to about $70 or so (so I guess it is an object...hahaha), but it does need to be a hoodie that's available in 2x or 3x and not a "slim cut", as I'm not exactly a slim cut either.
Hit me with your favorites!

I love Chrome's hoodies. Just got a second one but the first (~3y old, 3-season every-other-day wear) is still going strong. I usually get them on sale.

I am in Portland and was also going to suggest the Carhartt Rain Defender. I was a bit uncertain because they might be slightly toward the heavy side, but I’m wearing mine right now in a warm room, for what it’s worth. They’re great in both cold and transitional weather, and hold up to washing well.

I have a hoodie from Prana that's super soft and perfect for spring temps. I wear it all day every day, inside and out.

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again. A Carharrt Rain Defender is always the answer.
I agree wholeheartedly. Best darn hoodie I've ever owned.

It's out of your price range (so not as helpful, sorry) but I love my American Giant hoodie. I've converted a few friends to it as well. Super comfortable, looks nice, and they're really not joking around about the lifetime warranty. Mine started wearing out after 6 years of daily wear - I emailed them, they asked for the receipt and a photo, and sent a new one the next day. Never asked for the old one back, either. A friend had the same experience.
