I am a woman who purchased the Men's style 66 North Iceland Stormur fleece jacket. With that in mind, for some men, this jacket might be perfect. I loved the warmth, but the fit wasn't right for my body. Too bad. I think that most men's jackets are better made than the female versions and I was not wrong about the Stormur. I agree with the review that said this fleece is over-priced, though. I might try this brand again when I have more choices in style.

My last two Arc'teyx reviews have been placed at the lower end of the stars. This jacket is a warm fleece which is all I can really say about its assets. The fit is very slim; the sleeves were much too tight and uncomfortable to the point of constriction under the armpits. I may be finished with the Arc'teryx brand. I also found the fleece to be itchy.

As previously reviewed, I generally love all things Arc'teryx. This jacket was a replacement in size for the one purchased last season but not yet warn. This jacket is made differently from the one I reviewed on March 21, 2008. The reason is that it is made in China. The other Arc'teryx one was made elsewhere. BAD MOVE, ARC'TERYX!!!!! There is a change in the quality. Overall most people will probably be ok with this jacket. I'm not sure if I will keep this one. If other Arc'teryx jackets are going to be made in China, I will stop buying them. All of my other Arc'teryx merchandise has been manufactured in Canada and I can tell that the difference. Sad. I have purchased 4 jackets from the Arc'teryx brand and this is the first one I don't like.

I love the Arc'teryx brand! The quality is superb. This jacket fits well and is keeping me warm and dry(even though I don't live in freezing temps. unless I'm out at night).

The styling is perfect. I am a small woman and like my clothes fitted at the shoulders and wrists. Usually I have to have everything altered, but not with this jacket.

I own 3 Arc'teryx jackets for different purposes. I think this one will be my favorite.

As always, the Gearheads at this site have helped me find the perfect jacket for my needs. I couldn't have found this without their help.

I've had a hard time finding a pair of gloves that are pleasant to look at, yet are warm, comfortable, stylish, and not super bulky. The Prophet Gloves are the answer. They are terrific for everyday wear and nubile enough to use while driving or trying to get change from my pocket. A big thumbs up to Outdoor Research for this pair of gloves.

These gloves are too bulky for everyday use. The leather is ok and so was the fit. I was hoping to wear them for walking outdoors and driving because my hands get cold. The gloves were too big to wear under my winter jacket sleeves and did not work well for driving or holding a hot cup of coffee while out doing errands.

Once I returned these, I purchased the Outdoor Research Prophet Gloves. I am a women with small hands, but needed the Medium size. So far, I'm happy I made the exchange.

I've purchased four prior Mountain Hardware Windstopper products several years ago. When I saw this red color I thought I'd add it to my collection. This jacket is poorly made; the quality is "cheesy". It is not made in the same location as the previous Mt. Hardware products, so that might account for its lack of warmth and lightness. I will probably stop buying Mountain Hardware as a result of seeing what they are making now. I would recommend buying something from another company.

This is one of the nicest hoodies I've ever purchased. I like the fit, the hood that doesn't have strings that get twisted or pull off easily, and the cute zippered pocket on the left sleeve.

The Windfall2 by North Face is warm enough for a cold, breezy day and probably would fit as a base layer under soft shells for weather that is worse.

I'm glad that I purchased 2 of them.

I love most Patagonia products and have worn synchilla jackets for many years. I purchased this item, and found it to be lacking, but only because it was too short. I'm a petite woman but prefer to wear jackets and sweatshirts that come to my hips. This hoody fit at the waist. It was a nice hoody for the money but if you prefer a longer one, try the Mountain Hardware Poodle looking one. It's equally warm and cozy.

I've gotten lots of compliments on this jacket. I like the quality of Mountain Hardware jackets and vests. This Poodle Jacket is the 4th Mountain Hardware product I've purchased. I like the style, color and warmth of this jacket. It's lightweight to carry, but warm on the body for a day that is cool. I wish it had a hood, but that is a minor problem. The "poodle" look is a clever design. Just don't let your cats near you when you wear this jacket!!!!!!

I have been a Patagonia lover of synchilla for at least 20 years. This hoody is warm but is cut small. It fit my upper body, but did not come down to the hips. I prefer jackets that are longer because they are warmer.

If length is not an issue for you, then do buy this jacket because it feels warm and cozy.

This fleece jacket was purchased as a birthday gift for a ten year old girl who loves pink.

I had them send it directly to her and the package was waiting on her doorstep on the exact date as arranged.

Although I have yet to see her, she called me to say it was beautiful and she loved the color. I expect to see her later today and hope to see her wearing the fleece.

The Gearheads were a big help assisting me with this purchase. Kudos to them.

Yesterday I just ordered an adult woman's warm and cozy fleece for myself. Can't wait to see that one.......
