The once-humble hoodie is now a wardrobe mainstay, especially when it comes to traveling.
That said, not all hoodies are created equal.
Along the way, I pulled from my (embarrassingly) large collection of tried-and-tested favorites.
It may surprise you to learn it has workwear roots, not athletic.
Wed be remiss not to mention one of Champions ultracozy options like thePowerblend Fleece Hoodiefor fall and winter.
Free Flys lightweight, breathable, and supremely cozyMens Bamboo Heritage Fleece Hoodieis another excellent option.

I particularly like thePatagonia Mens R1 Air Full- zip Hoody for traveling.
The fleece also makes a nicepillow for the planewhen folded up into the hood.
Ive had theTracksmith Trackhouse Sweatshirtfor nearly eight years, and its only been uphill from there.
Or, consider Alos dual-tonewave hoodiefor non-cardio workouts like yoga.

Best Designer Styles
My advice is to always wear your nice things, even on the plane.
Theyre in the splurge category, but youre paying for material, cut, and pedigree.
First, consider what activity you have in mind.
If youre looking for an early morning gym cover-up, sweat-wicking polyester might be your go-to.
Consider the fit
Hoodies used to fit one way, but not anymore.
Were living through a wide democratization of hoodie silhouettes, from oversized and cropped to slim-fitting and athletic.
You dont have to pick a specific silhouette since our closets can contain multitudes.
But do consider that, depending on fit preferences, you may have to adjust your sizing.
If you invest in a versatile style, its going to be your new favorite travel staple.
Likemen’s sweatpants, hoodies are pretty resilient pieces of clothing.
Depending on the fabric, theyre mostly wrinkle-resistant, allowing for a just shove it in kind of packing.
