One doesn’t normally associate a company like Frabill, famous for its nets and ice fishing shacks, with clothing, but I think after this year things may change. The Frabill FXE Stormsuit looks like one heck of a piece of raingear and has been promoted heavily in commercials by the likes of Al Lindner, so I’m guessing it will take off. The object of my discussion here, though, is the Frabill hooded sweatshirt.
Hooded sweatshirt? Isn’t that the garment all of us own, but much of the time find on the clearance rack at Walmart? Not anymore for me. Frabill has come up with the perfect hooded sweatshirt.
How do you improve on an old classic like the hoodie? Well, you put a six inch zipper at the top so you can avoid bunching it up around your neck, and you include a nifty pocket inside the pocket with a velcro closure, so your cell phone or keys or whatever else you might be carrying doesn’t fall out. Then you leave the rest of it alone.
I got mine for 35 bucks on sale at Fleet Farm. Heck of a deal. I’m not sure I wouldn’t pay the full $49.99 price tag when I need to replace it, but I’m hoping they have a sale when the time comes.
Happy hoodies!
