Two shops, one label, and a price list running C$89 to C$189. That spread confuses people, and fair enough. A tee and a full tracksuit were never going to cost the same — nobody’s surprised there — but the stretch between a C$95 hoodie and a C$160 one is the bit that actually trips buyers up, and the hoodie pricing at Spiderscanada follows a completely different logic from its sister shop, which is worth sorting out before anything lands in a cart.
The two price lists, side by side
Spider Canada keeps it blunt. Every hoodie is C$139. Not C$139 for the plain web print and more for the crystal-set one — the same C$139 across all 63 of them. Tees sit between C$89 and C$99, sweatpants are C$109, and a full tracksuit comes to C$189. Four numbers for 156 products.
The other shop prices in bands instead. Its hoodies start near C$95 and the dearer ones push up to C$160; tees land roughly between C$89 and C$105; tracksuits, C$130 at the low end, C$180 at the high. Sweatpants are C$99 there. Its own About page is a touch more conservative (C$95 to C$149 on hoodies, tracksuits from C$130), which tells you the bands shift a little as stock turns over, so whatever range you read last week isn’t gospel.

What C$89 is actually paying for
Both catalogues open on the same number. Handy, that. C$89 gets you a cotton jersey tee — a Spider Wide T-Shirt, a Spider Five Day T-Shirt, something from that corner of the rail — and the dollars above it usually buy a heavier knit on the pieces marked heavyweight rather than more graphic. It’s also the least painful way to work out whether the oversized block cut suits your shoulders, since the tees follow the tops’ sizing and only come in about 3 cm narrower.
Why a hoodie costs C$139 here and C$95 there
This is usually where somebody decides one shop is overcharging. Not quite. Spider Canada’s fleece runs 380 GSM brushed cotton, and its own FAQ puts that next to the 280 to 320 GSM a high-street hood tends to carry, so the flat C$139 is really a weight charge — rhinestone and plain ring up identically, which is unusual and, honestly, a bit of a relief.
That C$95 entry price at Spidershoodies is perfectly real. But it’s the floor of a band reaching C$160, so the cheapest hood there and the dearest one aren’t the same garment at all. The band exists because that catalogue mixes print families — raised puff numerals, tonal work where the graphic sits in the same colour as the ground, zip-ups — and those don’t cost the same to produce. Read the listing for the piece you want, not the category range.
Tracksuits are where the gap gets wide
Biggest difference on the whole list. A Spider Websuit or a Beluga Tracksuit from Spider Canada runs C$189 for the pair, while the other shop opens its tracksuits at C$130 and tops out near C$180. Buy the halves separately at Spider Canada and you’re at C$139 plus C$109, so C$248 — the set knocks about C$59 off that, assuming you want both pieces.
And there’s the catch, because that sum only works if you wear them as a set, which plenty of people never do. The joggers have a relaxed seat and thigh, a drawcord waist and a cuffed ankle, and they layer under a shell without bunching through a damp Vancouver November. So C$109 alone is cheaper when the hood in your wardrobe already does that job.
The tag price and the checkout price are two different things
Shipping is the quiet variable in all of this. Spiders Hoodies Canada ships free to every province with no minimum spend, so its listed figure sits close to what you’ll hand over once tax goes on. Spider Canada settles the shipping cost at the address step instead of publishing it, which means a C$139 hoodie can finish a fair bit higher than you’d pencilled in. The comparison worth making is total against total, and you only see one of those in advance.
- A tee at C$89 is the cheapest way to test how the cut sits on you.
- C$139 covers any hoodie at Spider Canada, whatever the colourway.
- The C$189 set undercuts a C$139 hoodie plus C$109 joggers by roughly C$59.
- Free shipping on one shop can swallow a thirty-dollar difference on the other.
| Pro Tip: A price isn’t a price until the shipping line sits on top of it. One shop covers provincial delivery; the other works it out at the address step, and that line flips the comparison more often than the tag does. |
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the C$139 hoodie price change with the colour?
It doesn’t. Colourway and print family make no difference at Spider Canada, so a tonal hood and a crystal-set one both come to C$139. What changes between them is stock, not money.
So which one is actually cheaper?
Depends on the category, annoyingly. Tees are pretty much a wash. Sweatpants come in ten dollars lower at Spiders Hoodies Canada, C$99 against C$109. Tracksuits favour that shop at the bottom of its band, Spider Canada at the top. Hoodies are the only real contest, and shipping usually settles that one.
Do these prices include tax?
No — both shops list in Canadian dollars and show tax at checkout, the way any Canadian store does. A domestic order won’t pick up a customs charge either.
If I order the wrong size, does an exchange cost me twice?
Not for the garment, no. An exchange gets treated as a return plus a fresh order rather than a straight swap, though, so the money cycles back before the replacement moves. The piece has to go back unworn and unwashed with its tags on, and the window comes through in your order email.
Key Takeaways
|
None of it is arbitrary, then, once you see what each rung charges for — a cheap read on the cut at C$89, a weight charge at C$139, a small discount against its own parts at C$189. Which one you need depends mostly on what’s already hanging in your wardrobe, and the honest way to settle a close call is to open the listing for the exact piece and let the shipping line do the rest.
