Ex Officio Alpental Hooded Fleece Jacket - Women's

The Ex Officio Alpental Hoody: plush, warm fabric, scrumptious colors, and a fit that flatters your shape…you’ll wonder how you made it this far without this fleece. The Alpental wicks moisture and dries quickly, and its brushed mesh yoke lining breathes while you ski, snowshoe, or sell squash at the farmers’ market. Ex Officio added a zippered stash pocket for your Euro Pass or the keys to your soobie.

Bottom Line: Once you get your hands on the Alpental, life preceding that point seems dull and dreary.

Warm and comfy, but not durable

By:

I thought this was a really nice jacket at first. It is very warm, soft and fleecy on the inside but with a smooth outer surface that looks dressier than your average fleece. Could stand in for a cardigan with nice pants, for example. The problem is that the nice outer surface is pretty fragile. The jacket is beginning to pill all over after just a couple of weeks, and the surface does not hold up well to even slight abrasion. I carried a shoulder tote one day that must have had a rough seam or something, because now there is a big roughed up patch on the back of the jacket that is very visible. I've carried this tote before and it did not damage any of my other jackets. This jacket will not hold up well to rough use, or at least will not look nice afterwards, which was its appeal for me.

Great Fleece...

I was skeptical at first, only knowing Ex Officio for men's shirts, but my wife freaking loves this fleece. The dual materials (fleece lining and then exterior) work really well for warmth. The fit is also really flatering for women, it looks casual but has the materials and construction to do anything...A+
