The Mountain Hardwear Poodle Hoody is a luxurious option for bouldering, errand-running, and social appearances of all sorts. Made from lightweight, water-resistant Polartec Thermal Pro, the Mountain Hardwear Poodle Hoody looks purely style-driven, but it has a technical side. The shaggy Curly Monkey fabric has a high warmth-to-weight ratio and is highly breathable. Warm your hands between bouldering sessions in the velour pass-through front pocket. Mountain Hardwear recently updated the Poodle with a smooth, stretchy hood and trim lining to give it a closer, more comfortable fit.

What a Steal!

Rating:*****
Amzaing value. Buy this now and you'll be so happy when it cools off. I wish it was cold enough to wear this right now but it's got me looking forward to fall/winter even more. It's soft and cozy inside and out. The soft fleece is kind of shiny soft and could look a little dressy for going out but it's Mountain Hardware so I've got to assume it will be durable enough for some outdoor fun too. It's a bulkier fleece (but hangs nice on the bod) so I wouldn't consider it too much of packable space saver. I got the blue which is a nice subtle heather blue, not too bright.

Warm comfortable pulllover - I love it!

Rating:*****
Warm fuzzy interior keeps me ultra warm, and fuzzy exterior is cute and feels good. I ordered the grey/blue and it's a great color. The only down side: it runs big. I sent back my first one and requested a smaller size, which fits perfectly. I'm tall (5'9") and on the thin side, so I usually order a medium to fit my long arms and torso. However, I needed a small because the medium was too tent-like, so think about ordering down one size. Now that I have the right size, I am very happy with this pullover. In fact, I went back online and ordered another in a different color!

Love This Hoodie!

Rating:*****
I was so impressed with this hoodie that I bought 2 of them! Colorado winters are cold and windy and I will be living in this hoodie all winter. The hood is lined so it keeps your ears sheltered from the wind - perfect for skiing and hiking. It's so soft and comfortable that I don't want to take it off so that's why I bought 2. These hoodies are very well made. They have been washed multiple times and continue to look brand new. The fit is true to size. I'm 6'3" and ordered a large and the sleeves were long enough. Highly recommend this product.

GREAT!

Rating:*****
Couldn't beat the price on this one! I even got one for my Mom (I will say the large fit her better through the torso but the arms were too long. The med. still fits her but she'll be limited on wearing anything bulky underneath). I'm excited to wear it this winter, as I can already tell it will be one of my favorite pullovers! I go between wearing smalls and mediums (5'2, 120) and the medium fit well.

Love the Poodle

Rating:*****

Saw the poodle on my sister when she came for a visit and loved it on her. I'm 5'10 and it is great for my body type. Comfy and very warm. The arm length is definitely long, I have to fold down once about 1 inch for a perfect arm length. I bought 3 colors because I liked them so much. I've read others that said it shed but I have yet to experience that.

Extremely soft and warm.

Rating:****
I live in northern New England and this sweater comes in handy on cold days. It's very soft and comfortable. I only have one complaint - the fabric sheds. I bought the light yellow with brown trim and it sheds these little gold colored threads on my jeans..... After a couple of washes, it doesn't shed so much though. Overall, it's a great sweater.

Absolutely love this pullover!!!

Rating:*****
This is a very warm, cozy/comfortable, stylish pullover that is great for everyday use from going to the gym, to running errands, to football/early spring baseball games. My only advice would be to order one size up, especially for layering. I'm usually an XS Petite, and I had to send that one back and get the Small - I'm so glad I did!!!!

Cozy and Warm-Hood a Plus

Rating:*****
I love all the Mountain Hardwear fleece but this one is a little more feminine and the hood and pocket add a nice touch. Very warm and cozy and would look cute with a down vest layered over it. I bought the blue grey and the black and may get the yellow as well. Good price for good quality.

soft and comfy

Rating:****
I wanted something warm for hanging around the house on cold days and nights. This pullover is perfect. It's very soft but a little nicer than a sweatshirt which is what I was trying to replace.Other reviewers mentioned that the pocket had a stiff lining but I didn't find that to be true at all.

warm and soft

Rating:****
I wear the pullover mostly in the house when the temperature drops. It is so warm and snugly! It is kind of sparkly and as other have said it is roomy especially in the tummy area where the kangaroo pocket is. I don't mind though because of the extreme comfort.

Negative Reviews:

You'll look like a giant chicken.

Rating:**
I ended up returning the pullover. It was very soft and very warm, but it looked ridiculous. I had the sterling color and I looked like a giant chicken. Completely unattractive. If you are planning on hiding out in a cold house it is fine, but I wouldn't go out in public wearing it.
Blondie at Sierra Trading Post on 04/03/2009

Beautiful but they SHRINK when washed!

Rating:**
I love these tops (I have several), but be careful when washing them. I washed mine in cold water, then "fluffed" them in the dryer on "Delicate-Very Low Heat" and they shrank a full size or more. I wouldn't have thought that polyester could shrink at all, but these tops certainly do.
MH gal at Sierra Trading Post on 01/30/2009

Not the most flattering material

Rating:**
I thought I had made a good buy in ordering this pullover, but I returned it. I didn't like the material: It didn't seem warm considering the bulk and, quite frankly, it made me look fat. Also, I found that I'm really not into hoods, they just get in the way.
Kaye at Sierra Trading Post on 07/13/2009

Makes you look like a barnyard animal.

Rating:*
This is not a flattering fit. At all. Im petit but the small made me look like I had extra pounds. Too big. The plus side is it is very soft and cuddly. But I look like I'm a sheep. Or that big blue monster from Monsters Inc.
EJ at Sierra Trading Post on 01/13/2009

disappointed

Rating:*
comfy everywhere except it was cut weird thru the chest. It has a seam that made the top too small through the chest...never seen a seam there before...almost like a blouse cut if you know what I mean
nas at Sierra Trading Post on 10/12/2009

unflattering

Rating:**
the cut for the front pocket/handwarmer is unflattering and accentuates any tummy bulge.
julia at Sierra Trading Post on 02/19/2009

better for stuffed animal than pullover

Rating:*
I returned this pullover. I felt like a sheep in it.

Don't think I can wear it

Rating:***
This pullover is so cozy and wonderful as far as the fabric goes. The drawback for me is that it is thick and seems to look bulky around the middle on me. I have a small waist and flat stomach, but this makes me look sort of chunky around the middle. Since I have larger hips, it make me look heavy. It would look great on someone who has small hips and a straighter figure. I hate to lose it because it feels so nice, but I may send it back.
Alicia at Sierra Trading Post on 08/30/2009

Snuggly warm, but ...

Rating:***
This pullover is snuggly warm, feels great next to my skin, but didn't make the cut ... kind of boxy in the fit, not quite what I was looking for. Also, the black lining on the kangaroo pocket was unattractive both as seen through the pocket openings, and was visible through the light colored fleece front. I'm sending it back, and disappointed to have to do so.
brownmonkey at Sierra Trading Post on 03/21/2009

Not exactly what I had in mind

Rating:***
I'm exchanging for the next size up. I'm 5'4" and 112# and the small feels snug across the chest and under the arms. The pocket has a stiff backing on the underside, so it's not as soft as I anticipated in that area. It may soften up with a few washings but overall I really like it.
clarissa at Sierra Trading Post on 01/13/2009

Warm and Cozy but on the short side

Rating:***
Mountain Hardwear is one of my favorite brands. Super quality and functional design. Unfortunately, this pullover had to go back. It was too short for me (I am 5'7").
MacSweena at Sierra Trading Post on 02/18/2009

Soft and Fuzzy but too short

Rating:***
I am 5'10" tall and the sleeves seemed true to size but the body of this hoodie was too short for me, I had to return it.

Poodle Pullover

I love this thing, the color, quality, and texture. Unfortunately, it's not flattering to my body type.
