I wanna fleece hoody for fussy son

Hi. My DS has a fleece hoody from Next which he has had for at least 2 years and wears constantly.

I want to replace it this Xmas but he's really fussy about what he'll wear. So it must:-

1. Be made of fleecy material - not the lined sweatshirt material
2. Have a hood
3. Not have a zip
4. Not be too "heavy"
5. Fit a small 12 year old.

Yes I know - would be great if I could change his attitude but that's not going to happen any time soon:)

Any help appreciated.

    A little pricey..but how about gap?....my son is 12 and has a red one from there which seems to fit your criteria ... it has GAP written across the front...however as always not sure if the gap label is "cool".

    Thanks for the suggestion. I did get him a gap one from a slight seconds shop a couple of years ago but that was too thick (yes he is that fussy!). Will try the outlet places as they may have some. He's not too fashion conscious so not worried about it being "cool".

    M&M Direct have a Helly Hansen hoodie for £24 including delivery.

    They have others as well but you'll need to use the search on there because they're not allowing me to link their listing.

    Gap have a variety of hoodies which are really good quality but maybe better to wiat until the sale when old summer stock may come back in.
