A soft hoodie or fleece sweatshirt may seem easy to choose, but small differences determine whether you will wear it regularly. An overly loose fit can be awkward under a jacket, while a lightweight fabric may be less suitable for cold bike rides or warming up. Terms such as “fleece” and “cotton blend” are not always explained clearly either.
If you are looking for an Under Armour fleece hoodie or sweatshirt, it is therefore worth looking beyond the colour and logo. Pay particular attention to the material, fit, size chart and what you intend to use the clothing for.
An oversized style can be comfortable when lounging, but it does not always sit well under a jacket or during movement. For some Under Armour Rival Fleece crewneck styles, the product information states that they come up large and that sizing down may be worth considering. Always check the chest measurement in centimetres rather than relying solely on S, M, L or XL.
A higher cotton percentage does not automatically mean that a sweatshirt will be warmer or better suited to sport. The inside, fabric weight and ribbed trims are just as relevant. For example, the selected Rival Fleece styles are made from 78% cotton and 22% polyester or 80% cotton and 20% polyester. According to the product descriptions, several styles feature a brushed inner for extra warmth.
Polyester can help the garment retain its shape and dry more quickly, but always check the full material composition. A cotton hoodie feels different from a technical training layer.
A hoodie with a kangaroo pocket is practical for keeping your hands warm and carrying small items. A crewneck sweatshirt with a round neck is easier to wear under an overshirt, jacket or gilet. Both styles work well for everyday wear, travelling and lounging, but they do not offer the same protection around the neck.
Look at three details:
The Under Armour Fleece Crew from the Icon Fleece Collection is described as a mid-weight cotton blend with a brushed inner. According to the product information, the Rival Fleece range is lightweight and designed for everyday wear, layering and warming up.
Compare your own chest measurement with the chart on the product page. The following guidelines apply to various men’s styles, for example:
Pay attention to the difference between a regular fit and a style that comes up large. The men’s styles in the Rival Fleece Crew collection are described as regular fit, with a warning that they may come up large. The women’s hoodie from the Big Logo range is described as regular fit and true to size. This makes the size chart more important than a general expectation based on your usual size.
For everyday use, the following features are relevant:
When in doubt, follow the care label on the product you receive. This helps prevent cotton blends from shrinking unnecessarily or losing their shape.

Yes, according to the product descriptions, the styles mentioned are designed for everyday wear, layering, training or lounging. A fleece hoodie is particularly practical in changeable temperatures. For intensive sports, it is also worth considering moisture management, freedom of movement and the fabric weight you need.
Wash the hoodie according to the care label, preferably at the low temperature specified. Do not use bleach and avoid high tumble-drying temperatures. The Under Armour styles mentioned recommend cold washing and drying on a low setting. Also check whether the garment comes up large before choosing a size.
A men’s fleece sweatshirt usually has a round neck and is easier to wear under other clothing. A men’s fleece hoodie has a hood, often a drawcord and sometimes a kangaroo pocket. Choose a crewneck sweatshirt for layering, and a hoodie when extra coverage and pocket space are important. Women’s styles are available too, such as the Under Armour Women’s Ua Rival Fleece Big Logo Hoodie in black with white.
