Hoodies & Work Sweatshirts Buyer's Guide
From casual branded merch to fleece-lined layering pieces built for cold mornings on site, this collection covers a wide range of warmth and durability. Here's how to pick the right one for how you'll actually wear it.
Layering for Cold-Weather Site Work
A hoodie or sweatshirt is the mid-layer that sits between a technical base layer and your outer work jacket. Pull-over styles like the Arbortec Pull Over Hoodie work well under a waterproof shell on wet, cold days, while zip-fronted options such as the Arbortec Black Zip Hoodie make it easy to vent heat once you're working hard.
Fleece-Lined & Knitted Jackets
For the coldest months, the Arbortec Yeti Knitted Fleece Lined Hooded Jacket and Wolf Half-Zip Knitted Fleece step up from a standard hoodie with proper fleece lining and a more structured cut, giving you extra warmth for static tasks like felling assessments, banksman duties or early starts before the truck's loaded.
Branded Merch vs Functional Workwear
This collection covers both ends of the spectrum: Stihl's TIMBERSPORTS and Logo ranges are casual branded pieces built for comfort rather than site durability, while the Arbortec and Silky Fox hoodies are cut from heavier workwear-grade fabric intended for daily wear on the job. If it's going under a harness or chainsaw jacket every day, choose the workwear-grade option.
Sizing & Care
Workwear-branded hoodies from Arbortec typically run true to size with room for a base layer underneath; casual Stihl merchandise fits closer to standard fashion sizing. Check individual size charts before ordering, and machine-wash fleece-lined pieces on a cool cycle to protect the lining.
