I have always called a light top with a full zipper to be a jacket, however the people I’m surrounded by insist on calling it a sweatshirt. I’m prepared to be wrong, just wondering if I’m the only one.
It’s a hoodie.
Jackets are lined.
Jackets, often, but not always. Track jackets, windbreaker jackets, shell jackets, etc. Light jackets and coats without lining are pretty easy to find. I even have a light sport coat with no lining.
Zip up hoodie
Zoodie.
More importantly, where is OP based that this has become a debate with two wrong answers?!
The only true answer
I’d call it a “hoodie”.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoodie
A hoodie (in some cases spelled hoody[1] and alternatively known as a hooded garment)[2] is a type of sweatshirt[1] with a hood that partially or fully covers the wearer’s head or face.
Wikipedia says that the zipper can be a defining characteristic:

List of jackets
- Hoodie, a zippered hooded sweatshirt (non zippered can be considered a sweatshirt only)

- Hoodie, a zippered hooded sweatshirt (non zippered can be considered a sweatshirt only)
That clears things up… this jacket is a zippered hooded sweatshirt.
Wait, that resolves nothing!
Hooded sweatshirt.
I know they’re essentially the same thing but when you say it that way I think of a hooded pullover, but hoodies are zippered for me.
I insisted on calling them this throughout high school because I thought the word hoodie was dumb. Tbh I was probably annoying about it. Eventually I caved, but I still think hoodie is kind of a dumb word. So is jumper for what it’s worth.
It’s a hoodie.
Jumper
It’s both, depending on what word my brain decides to use at the time.
But I think usually that would be a “sweater”, a “sweatshirt” doesn’t have a zipper or hood, and a “jacket” is made of, um, jacket material.
Where I’m from a sweatshirt is a very specific thing which doesn’t have a zip.
When I was growing up, we called these “sweatshirt jackets.” So, yes.

Sweatshirt when zipped, jacket when unzipped, always hoodie.
Zip up hoodie
It’s clearly white and gold
It’s blue and black what are you high on?!
It’s a zip up hoody, which makes it a sweater as far as I’m aware.
