My sons love the hoodie!

My daughter absolutely LOVES her sweater. She wears it to school everyday

It isn’t as heavy as I would have expected. It’s the same weight as a good quality sweatshirt. My grandson loves it! He really likes the inside pocket textures. It’s still a bit warm for him to use it daily but soon I won’t be able to get it off him! Overall good choice!

These are great for helping to calm both kids and adults. My nephew hasn’t wanted to take his off since he was given it a week ago. My kids also wear them more than any other hoodie. The only ones they wear more are the pull over grounding hoodie and that is because a book fits in the pocket (and it is a little heavier weight).

Love these sweatshirts. The zip up is less heavy than the pullover version of the grounding hoodie which is both a pro and a con. It is also much easier to get on and off! Having the texture on the inside of the pockets is nice for focus and calming. My kids love the giant hood almost as much as the stress balls in the wrists

We LOVE this product! My son is 10 and has sensory issues/needs. In Florida hoodies are too hot so being able to unzip the jacket makes that more comfortable. He is a nail biter and bites collars off of his tshirts. This hasn't stopped that completely but it has helped.The outside material is nice and almost pillowy and the color is beautiful. The inside is soo soft and the thumb holes are a nice touch. The squishes are like a dense foam stress ball. They are removable and are housed in tiny hidden pockets with little zippers. My son can't see or feel the pockets or zippers that hold the squishies in place. His favorite feature is in the front pockets. Inside they are textured. He has begun to rub and lightly pick at the textured areas in the pocket.The jacket is over sized and has become his favorite thing to wear. The only issue we have is the price ($85). For our family that is very expensive.price was the only reason I took off a star. Overall we are happy with our purchase.
