Goldilocks Sizing

This is more a sizing thing for me. At 6'1" and my (current) 200Lbs I find that a North Face Large is a tad too big, a Mountain Hardware Large is a tad too small, but an Arcteryx Large is just right (though be warned it does run long if that bothers you).

I'd rate this fleece warmer than a NF TKA 100 or a MH Microchill. Looks a bit nicer than either of those fleeces as well.

Only dings are:

Price (expensive for a basic fleece)
Very short zip (I'm a fan of half zips for really dumping heat when you need to).
Neck is very roomy, which might be good if your base layers have necks but I tend to layer over crews so like the necks on my mid layers to be a bit tighter.

Going to check out a Delta AR next.
