Here's everything you need to know about DIY hoodies with Beanie Guys.

Choose Your Weight: From Lightweight to Heavy-Duty

Not all hoodies are created equal — and that's a good thing. We offer a full range of GSM (grams per square metre) weights so you can find the perfect hoodie for your climate and purpose:

  • 290 GSM — Lightweight and breathable, great for layering or milder weather
  • 320 GSM — A versatile mid-weight favourite for everyday wear
  • 350 GSM — Substantial and cosy, ideal for cooler days
  • 400 GSM — Premium weight with a luxurious feel
  • 500 GSM — Our heaviest option, built for serious warmth in the coldest conditions

Whatever the season or setting, we have a hoodie weight that's right for you.
