@rasta 100% The IH of sweats and Ts (though the IH sweats and Ts are good too).

@americanathreads I’m going to field this one hehe. The Double heavyweight is next level fricken awesome. If you’re only going to get one WL hoodie, this should be it. It’s warm, heavy, but breaths so well. Better than a UHF. I just wore mine this morning for our walk. It was 11 degrees Celsius and I didn’t need a jacket over it. Once I got back and started on breakfast / coffee, I didn’t find the need to take it off inside. That in its self is crazy. The Super looper is more for warmer climates. The uneven terry fabric inside feels unlike anything else. The weight is similar to Ironheart hoodies if you’ve tried those but definitely cooler feeling temperature wise. Those are some of my thoughts on the matter haha. I’ll be doing an in depth review on both, the Double heavy weight, Super looper, + jogging pants. Some of their T’s too. Just picked up a Fox Fibre Coyote 70. Man this shit is just great. Lots more to say!

@Chibs Agree with all that. To add...
- Double Heavy Sweat is twice the weight of anything else, great for colder months next year will be brushed which will be amazing...
-But I get more wear from my Fox Fibre Fleece, these are super soft and cost. - Just got the Purple Super Looper - its like wearing a towel.
- IH Sweats / Real McCoys / etc are all nice also but different to the above. These are softer than the Super Looper / Double Heavy so have their place.
Its all good!

Thanks both! Yeah I’ve got a couple of double heavyweight sweaters and the fleeced foxfibre. DBH are insanely heavy and tough. I just never fully tuned into the super looper product line. So definitely lighter weight, more towel like, and more vibrant colors it seems. Feel like a super looper hoody might make sense, I have crewnecks in the DHW, feel like a hoody would be nearly too warm in a hoody.

@americanathreads said in Wonder Looper:
@rasta how would you describe the difference between super looper and double heavyweight foxfibre?
The Super Looper is a bit lighter, softer and airier. Really plush and cozy. The double heavyweight foxfiber is a bit rougher and denser, its really comfortable in a rugged "weighted blanket" sort of way. They are both plenty heavy, but the french terry can breathe a bit more than a fleeced hoody so they layer exceptionally well.
One thing that surprised me about the iron mordant fox fiber hoody was the weird patina I am getting. Hard to notice in pictures but it does actually develop some interesting patina.

@rasta That texture looks insane! Thanks for sharing that photo

@Chibs @will6er @americanathreads Thank you for sharing your experiences! I'm planning to visit the Yokohama office in November and grab a double heavyweight hoodie and the sweatpants, so I found this info very useful.

@Chibs 100% Wearing mine right now. Got min the last time around and love the almost slubby feel. My wife just said it looks rubbish with the purple Super Looper zip up I just got...
-
@will6er it’s such a nice tone of brown. My understanding is that it will deepen after washes. That’s pretty cool! Sorry for the low WAF but at least we can both be twinning!!
-
@Dmart Same! It goes really well with denim and it’s so rich in person. Fucking addicted to WL. Going back for iron Mordant RN!!
Haha -
@Dmart only thing I have from Merz is their wool watch cap but I love that thing! Eventually I’ll try out some T’s.
-
@Dmart Wonder Looper is another level to Merz - at least this ones I have.
