See the hoodieHow to read GSM when you shop for a heavyweight hoodie
GSM means grams per square meter, and it tells you how dense the fabric is. A higher number usually means a thicker, heavier hoodie. In our picks, 500gsm is the thickest we list, 450gsm is a step lighter, and 350gsm suits a zip-up layer. Heavier fabric feels more structured and holds its boxy shape. It also feels weightier on the body, so think about how and when you will wear it before choosing.
