depends on how baggy you like your hoodies(or if you plan to wear them over layers) and how many times it may accidentally go through the dryer. I like mine a little baggier and the 2x fit well till it went through the dryer accidentally a few times, now it fits but is on the snug side for my liking, especially if over my bibs. Have a non lettered 3x of the same company that’s also gone through the dryer and still is the level of ‘looseness’ I like.
