Ooey Gooey Half Zip Sweater - Black

I love love love this! The fit overall is really cool and this perfect mix between casual and elevated, the fabric is amazing and the colour doesn’t make me look pale/like I’m dead even though my skin colour isn’t that much darker lol, so an absolute win and a new favourite in my closet ❤️

i bought the blue one and i love it! Its so nice and softttt!

I really love the ooey gooey line/material so I got this. I love the hidden pocket idea and the style of the half zip with buttons at the neck.

Although I love the batwing style, I feel like this one was way too exaggerated. I am 5'2 and I have a pretty small body. I understand one fit doesn't fit everyone, but I got the XXS/XS and it's still pretty big and bagggy on me. I would like it to be a bit shorter/cropped more at the waist to account for my height.

I am in the minority of people that does not like the Cloud Zip Hoodie. I am an athletic 5'6'' with a long torso (26in from pelvis to collarbone for reference) and I found S/M in the Cloud Zip VERY impractical to wear. While the quality of the material was awesome, the cropped length and batwing cut would cause it to literally become a sports bra when I lifted my arms to even my shoulders, the heavy hood would yank the edge of the zipper into my neck no matter how much I unzipped the zipper, the bottom hem would not stay around the hips and I was forever yanking it down lest it end up under my boobs...it was honestly so stressful to wear and never wore it again after the first time. It's the only Popflex item I truly dislike *shock*.

When this half-zip came out, I was intrigued by the hidden pocket and the lack of a hood. I gave it a try and am happy that THIS sweatshirt solves all my personal issues with the Cloud Zip. Because there is no hood this sweatshirt does not pull backwards into my neck, while the high neck still keeps me warm. Some reviews of this items say that the batwing cut makes the bottom hem ride up, but I found the opposite to be true. This sweatshirt does lift a bit when I raise my arms, but due to the longer length (I got a S/M in this one too) it only rides up to my natural waist at most, not to all the way under my boobs. Plus I find the zipper itself to be of better quality than the odd silver one they use on the Cloud Zip and the snaps are a highly quality bonus! Dare I say, I even prefer the Ooey Gooey material to the famous Cloud fabric, it feels just as nice and has a good heft without as much weight somehow. Lastly, I saw some comments about the tightness of the sleeves. To be fair, I have pretty slender wrists, but I don't have an issue with it being too tight. The length of the sleeve is fine and the thumbholes are well-placed on me (shoulder to thumb is 25in) and I think the long wristband looks quite elegant compared to the Cloud hoodies.

My only recommendation would be to have the secret pocket sewn against the back panel of the main pocket instead of the front. That way when you put things into the secret pocket, it doesn't create a bulge in the front. For example, OV Megafleece hoodies have a 'secret' inner pocket against the stomach and I've found this keeps your 'secret' items more securely against your body, doesn't show the outline of what's in the pocket, and is more comfortable when you put your hands in your pocket since the items are underneath your palms rather than rubbing against your knuckles.

I never want to wear anything else! This is surprisingly warm, but didn't make me hot. I was able to go outside in sub 0 Temps and be comfortable. The inside is so soft. Love the hidden pocket. Great to wear lounging around the house or running errands. I've worn it to work a number of times on dress down days. I want it in all the colors.

I got this mainly because the turquoise color caught my eye, but was always a little skeptical about what 'ooey gooey' meant for material, and was like, I'm sure it's just as comfy as any other nice sweatshirt. But OMG this material DOES live up to it's name, possibly the most comfortable sweatshirt material anyone has ever experienced!! Cannot recommend enough!

And of course, multiple pockets?? Always sign me up for that!
