- Product Review -
I was thrilled to
hear from Eric Burk, co-founder and CEO of the Keep Tight company (based in Castle Pines, CO – US) with the
opportunity to review their fantastic hoodie. Keep Tight specializes in fitness
and health clothing for women who are hardcore fitness enthusiasts. They
produce high quality, comfortable clothing using cutting edge technologies and
fabrics. Eric and his wife Melanie, began this business together based on their
own experiences with clothing that had inadequate support, were unflattering,
dysfunctional, and clothes that contribute to chafing, rubbing or bouncing.
I was sent a confirmation
of the product order by the support team on June 18 sent via FedEx and was told
it would take about 3 days to arrive - it
arrived in 4 business days. KeepTight IronFleece Performance Hoodie I received was “nebula grey and pink” but also
comes in black and pink. It has a retail price of $79.99 (US). Eric was right on top of things
and made sure I received the order safe and sound in the time frame that they
promised and provided all the links you see here in this review today - making
my job a lot easier.
The grey and pink
hoodie fit a little big when I took it out of the bubble envelope, but after
the first washing it fit perfectly. I loved the form fitting style, helping me
feel more feminine. The holes in the long arms were fantastic addition as they
prevent the arms from moving around when working out or doing outdoor
activities. The hoodie is a bit longer than most, too, going down over the hips
a little, but I liked this as it covers everything nicely – no longer needing
to constantly adjust clothing or zippers during activities. The hood itself is
perfectly shaped, without blocking vision or sliding around – increasing
comfort for the wearer. Rather than pull cords, the hood has elasticized cords
looped through a plastic cord lock, like those you’d find on backpacks.
This particular
hoodie is made with a fabric they call “IronFleece”
(95% Polyester, 5% Elastane) because it is ultra strong,
lightweight, and super soft. The fabric allows you to stay cool, wicks moisture
away, but helps you keep the chill off as well. There are internal headphone
grommets from the pockets on the inside of the jacket and a small pocket inside
the side pocket to store keys or a small phone, etc. and it is so attractive
you’ll wear this hoodie for many other activities including shopping around
town.
The stitching and seams
appear to be of high quality and I didn’t see any flaws even with a very close
examination. However it is sewn in China however, which means more fossil fuels
spent in shipping the product. Instructions are to machine was in cold water on
a normal cycle, to not use bleach or softener and to tumble dry on low,
removing promptly.
My final comment:
great quality, superb feel and look – I love this hoodie.
