Review: Mouth Man Hoodies

Eva and her Mouth Man Hoodie

I was given a couple of the Mouth Man hoodies to try out and review. I picked a cute tree frog one for Eva and a fiery dragon for myself. The unique thing about these hoodies is that if you wrap your arms around yourself like you are giving yourself a hug and you can move your arms up and down like a mouth opening and closing you make the hoodie animated.

The hoodies look really great on kids. The head and the body are in proportion when kids do the arm motion and things look right. When I do the motion in my hoodie the arms are up too high so you still see the dragon’s head. But it is still a fun concept. Especially at a sporting event for rallying the team.
