10 Best Zip-Up Hoodies For Men You Need to Cop Now

Well, well, well. It’s fall season again. Fellas, it’s time to buy the hoodies. Ladies, it’s time to swipe the hoodies they buy. Since we’re all on are on the prowl for a new hoodie addition, we figured we would put together a quick roundup of ten different zip-up hoodies that you should consider copping for the Fall season. Zip-up hoodies sometimes get a bad wrap, and we get it. A hoodie with a zipper looks like a jacket, and why would you want a hoodie that looks like a jacket? That defeats the purpose of a hoodie...right?

Well, you shouldn’t write them off completely for a few reasons. For starters, there are dozens of zip-up hoodies with great designs, and any clothing item with a zipper is instantly easier to get on and off. This may not seem like a big deal (especially to men), but that small detail is important to some when it comes to convenience. Now that we have you convinced, let’s get into our selections.

Heads Up: We’re sticking with mostly newer releases this go-round.

1. Men’s Nike Sportswear Tech Fleece Taped Hoodie

Nike has plenty of zip-up hoodies in their current online catalog to choose from, and this is one of our favorites. While labeled as a men’s hoodie, it’s actually a unisex design with a plethora of sizing and color options available. While it is a bit pricier than some of the other options, the lightweight fleece component makes it adjustable for the fall, winter, and early spring days, meaning that you won’t have to buy a new hoodie for each season.

2. adidas Essentials Fleece 3-Stripe Zip-Up Hoodie

If, however, you are looking for a cheaper alternative, then check out Adidas's hoodie collection. Similar to the Nike fleece hoodie, the Adidas variation is available in different sizing and colors. You also get the comfort, style, and flexibility to be able to wear in different settings.

3. Adidas Z.N.E. Jacket x James Bond

Anything with a 007 Logo is automatically cool because it’s James Bond. There isn’t a single soul on the planet that doesn’t think James Bond is cool (and if you do we would like a word). We tried to think of the best word to describe this hoodie, and the first that came to mind was suave. This piece has a smooth look that is simple, but not understated. Our only complaint is that there isn’t a black color option as well (a black hoodie with a gold 007 logo would have been a killer). Nonetheless, this is a great pickup.

4. Champion's Men’s Powerblend Fleece Hoodie

Champion always has great quality hoodies that are long-lasting, and right now Macy’s is having a limited-time special on their power blend fleece hoodies. Originally priced at $50 (which isn’t unreasonable for hoodies), you can snag this bad boy for the low price of $27. There’s plenty of colors available that are very “fall-themed” as well. This is a great deal in our opinion.

BUY NOW, $27

5. Carhartt Loose Fit Midweight Full-Zip Sweatshirt

Described as being durable and familiar, Carhartt has limitless hoodies at your disposal. We chose the loose fit because even in cooler weather you may not necessarily want clothes sticking to you. You could go subtle with the neutral black and grey colors, or you could walk on the wild side with neon green or orange. It’s totally up to you.

6. GAP Logo Zip Hoodie

You may not have been able to get your hands on Kanye’s hoodies, but you could always give their zip hoodies a shot. We’re huge fans of the GAP brand over here as GAP has always provided great quality products at affordable prices. Some of the ONE37 squad still has some of their GAP pickups from the 90s and early 2000s, so believe us when we say this is a good investment.

7. Men's UA Squad Woven Warm-Up Jacket

Similar to the other brands listed, you can find some cool zip-up jackets on the Under Armour website. One of those is the Men’s UA Squad Woven Warm-Up Jacket that can be used for any occasion. The UA hoodie has a windbreaker feel and design to it, so this would be a handy pickup for windy and rainy fall days.

8. Banana Republic Organic French Terry Hoodie

Not all hoodies have an “athletic” look and the Banana Republic French Terry Hoodie is an example of that. This is what we call an “upscale hoodie,” (the model has it underneath what appears to be a rain/trench jacket) and can be worn underneath coats, suit jackets, and blazers for a professional tailored look.

9. Luxury Peloton Hoodie

You know we always like to include luxury items in our roundups, and the Luxury Peloton Hoodie fits the bill. The quality is top-notch, the design is sporty, and the hoodie itself isn’t that much more expensive than regular hoodies. It’s worth the investment in our opinion.

10. Nike Therma Men's Full Zip

We’ve primarily included lightweight hoodies to avoid that potential “sticky” feeling, but you do need to have at least one insulating hoodie for those very cool days. So if you are looking for one, we’ve got you covered. Not only does the Therma hoodie make you feel warm, but it’s also made with sweat-preventing fabric so that you don’t feel icky (especially after a workout). It sounds like a good deal, so we’re including it.

BUY NOW, $35.97

That’s going to do it for today. We hope you are leaving this article with a new hoodie in your shopping carts. Happy Fall!
