she is has a fondness for spiders and the huge Spyder logo that covers the back made this a real winner for her. (Too bad you don't show a picture of the back.) That big logo, however, is made of some very thin, partially transparent material so an undershirt is necessary. To me that reflects poorly on the quality of this shirt and even the sale price seems a bit steep for what you get. Still, the cool design/logos outweighed the cons and I'm happy with the purchase.

Finally a fleece jacket with shaping and long enough sleeves! I'm 5'9" and the fit is perfect. Very soft and just warm enough--I'm hooked. My only complaint is that Backcountry doesn't have more colors available...

This vest has so many great features!! The cut is feminine and slimming, unlike many puffy vests. It's also a touch longer in the back to cover. The 2-way zip is so handy. The fleecy pockets and oh-so-soft collar are cozy. Only 2 complaints (hence, only 4 stars): it has leaked feathers from the get go. We're talking small scale problem so far, but still one to mention. The other complaint is that every time I wear it I get an allergic reaction to the feathers. Perhaps they were not washed meticulously/are not the best quality. I considered returning the vest at first because of this but the other features make it stand far above any other vest I've tried, so I'm going to see if a few washings will take care of the sore throat/sneezy/stuffy/watery eye reaction.

The Jewel Blue color is pretty. I am a person who is always cold and this coat does a very good job at keeping the shivers at bay. The small was too tight across the chest, however (which isn't a typical problem for me), and both small and medium aren't long enough in the sleeves for my monkey arms. Also the cuffs don't keep my gloves tucked in or the cold from creeping in there. I kept the Medium anyway because of the wind blocking, warmth retaining properties and because no one else had this pretty blue color!

I liked this top but it's not made for slightly taller folks. I'm 5'9" and the sleeves were a good 2"+ too short. I had to go somewhere else to get the Men's version of this, which fit fine--love it and it's all it is advertised to be.
