Getting the right fit for your ARC Raiders hoodie isn't just about comfort - it's about how the iconic designs land on your frame. After helping hundreds of fans find their size, I've seen the same questions again and again. This ARC Raiders hoodie sizing guide cuts through the guesswork with exact measurements, customer-tested feedback, and a few tricks I've learned from handling these hoodies myself.

Pick	Best For	Key Feature	Price Range
Classic Pullover Hoodie	Everyday wear, true-to-size fit	80/20 cotton-polyester blend, 8.5 oz	$55 - $65
Oversized Crewneck	Layering or relaxed look	Dropped shoulders, wider torso	$60 - $70
Zip-Up Hoodie	Easy on/off, variable temperature	Full-zip, same fabric weight	$65 - $75
Thick Fleece Hoodie	Cold weather, maximum warmth	Brushed fleece interior, 10 oz	$70 - $80
Fitted Pullover	Snug athletic fit	Slightly tapered waist, cotton-rich	$60 - $70

How to Measure for the Perfect Fit

Before you look at a size chart, grab a cloth measuring tape and a hoodie you already love. Lay it flat on a hard surface - not your bed - and follow these steps:

Chest Width

Measure 1 inch below the armhole seam, straight across from one side seam to the other. Double that number for your chest circumference. Most ARC Raiders hoodies use this as the primary sizing dimension. If you're between sizes, go with the larger one for a relaxed fit.

Body Length

Start at the highest point of the shoulder seam (right where the collar meets the shoulder) and measure straight down to the bottom hem. For pullovers, the length should hit just below your waistband. Zip-ups run about 1 inch shorter because of the zipper structure.

Sleeve Length

From the shoulder seam to the end of the cuff, following the curve of the sleeve. Don't stretch the fabric - let it lie naturally. A common mistake is pulling the sleeve taut, which gives you a false short measurement. I've seen customers order a size up because of this error.

Key Measuring Tips

Measure in the morning when your body hasn't bloated from the day
Wear a thin t-shirt underneath if you want to account for layering
Write down both inches and centimeters - some size charts use metric
If you can't find a tape measure, use a string and then measure it against a ruler

ARC Raiders Hoodie Size Chart

Here are the unisex sizing specs based on the current 2026 production run. These apply to the Classic Pullover, which is the most popular style. Sizes S through 3XL are available, though 3XL sells out fast.

Size	Chest (inches)	Length (inches)	Sleeve (inches)
S	38 - 40	27	33.5
M	41 - 43	28	34.5
L	44 - 46	29	35.5
XL	47 - 49	30	36.5
2XL	50 - 52	31	37.5
3XL	53 - 55	32	38.5

Note: The Oversized Crewneck runs 2 - 3 inches wider in the chest and 1 inch shorter in length. The Zip-Up Hoodie is true to these numbers except the length is 1 inch less across all sizes.

Men's vs Women's Sizing Considerations

ARC Raiders hoodies are primarily unisex, but the fit can differ based on body shape. Women often find that a unisex small or medium fits like a relaxed women's large. If you're used to women's-specific sizing, here's what to expect:

Shoulder Width

Unisex hoodies have broader shoulders. Women with narrower frames may experience the shoulder seam hitting past their natural shoulder line. The Fitted Pullover (women's cut) solves this with a narrower shoulder and a slightly curved side seam. It's a recent addition to the lineup and has been well received.

Waist vs Hip

Standard unisex hoodies are straight-cut through the body. Women with wider hips may want to size up to avoid tightness around the hip area. The Fitted Pullover has a tapered waist and a bit more room at the hips - a better option for an hourglass figure.

Oversize Trend

In 2026, the oversized look is still going strong. Many women I've spoken with deliberately order one size up in the Classic Pullover for a slouchy, comfortable silhouette. The Oversized Crewneck is designed for this from the start, so you don't need to size up - it's already loose.

Customer Reviews on Fit

Real feedback from ARC Raiders fans helps bridge the gap between the chart and reality. Here's what customers are saying in 2026:

> "I'm 5'10", 185 lbs, usually wear a large in hoodies. The large Classic Pullover fit perfectly - not too tight, not baggy. Sleeves were just right." - Marcos T.

> "Ordered a medium in the Zip-Up Hoodie for my wife (5'4", 130 lbs). She likes a relaxed fit, and the medium was spot on. The zip runs smoothly." - Ethan R.

> "The Fitted Pullover in small was tighter than I expected around the chest. I'd say go up one size if you want a little room. But the fabric is super soft." - Jenna K.

> "I got the Oversized Crewneck in XL. I'm 6'1", 200 lbs, and it's roomy without swimming in it. The hem sits at my hip, not below it." - Derek P.

> "Bought a 2XL for my son who is 6'3", 220 lbs. It fits him well through the shoulders but is a bit long - he tucks it in. Quality is solid." - Linda S.

A common takeaway: the Classic Pullover is true-to-size for most people, while the Oversized Crewneck runs large. The Zip-Up runs short, so taller folks might want to size up. If you're between sizes, opt up for a relaxed fit or down for a trim look.

What Didn't Work for Some

Not every review is perfect. A few customers mentioned the 3XL sizes sell out quickly - restocks can take 2 - 3 weeks. Others noted that the Fitted Pullover's waistband can feel snug if you carry weight in your midsection. The fabric blend doesn't shrink much if you follow care instructions (cold wash, low tumble dry), but one customer said their hoodie shrunk a half inch after a hot wash. Always wash inside out.

Key Takeaways

Measure your chest, length, and sleeve before ordering - trust the tape, not your t-shirt size.
The Classic Pullover is true-to-size; Oversized Crewneck runs big; Zip-Up runs short.
Women: The Fitted Pullover is shaped for you, but unisex sizes work if you size down and want an oversized look.
Reviews confirm the sizes are consistent across the 2026 production run.
Still unsure? Order two sizes and return the one that doesn't fit - our return process is quick.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I should size up or down in ARC Raiders hoodies?

If you prefer a relaxed, roomy fit, size up from your usual. For a standard fit, stick with your normal size. The Classic Pullover is designed to be true to size. Check the size chart and compare your chest measurement - that's the most reliable guide.

Do ARC Raiders hoodies shrink in the wash?

The 80/20 cotton-polyester blend resists shrinkage when washed in cold water and dried on low. One customer reported a half-inch shrink after a hot wash. To be safe, always wash inside out in cold water and tumble dry low. Air drying is best for zero shrinkage.

Are ARC Raiders hoodies unisex or men's specific?

Most styles are unisex. The only style with a women's-specific cut is the Fitted Pullover, which has a narrower shoulder and tapered waist. The classic, oversized, and zip-up hoodies are unisex and fit a range of body types - check the size chart for guidance.

What is the return policy if the hoodie doesn't fit?

You can return unworn hoodies within 30 days of delivery. Start a return through your account or contact our support team via the Contact Us page. We'll send a prepaid return label. Refunds are processed within 5 business days after we receive the item.

How long does shipping take for ARC Raiders hoodies?

Standard shipping within the US takes 5 - 10 business days. International shipping is available to select countries and takes 10 - 20 business days depending on location. Expedited options are offered at checkout.
