After using the caliber full zip for a while now I figure its time for a review. I find it a perfect 4 season fleece that gets a lot of use for a very inexpensive piece. I have owned dozens of fleece jackets and zips over the years and I absolutely love this one. It is cut a bit longer in the torso (compared to the covert which it is modeled after), with a slightly looser fit. I never loved my covert as I always felt it was a half size too small. The fleece face is also more tightly woven so you dont get a lot of pilling like what happens to lots of other fleece over the years. It feels like a 100 wt fleece and provides just a touch of warmth as a outer jacket or a midlayer. pockets are well placed and the schoeller fabric on the outside edge of the pockets make sure your goods dont catch the fleece fibres or get that really dirty look beside the pockets. Highly recommended if your looking for a lightweight fleece to add to your gear collection.
