5 Star Rating

Love this jacket!

By Ranked #544 - Men's Fleece Jackets January 9, 2009

I just got mine a few weeks ago, and it has been a great surprise. I originally ordered one in cobalt blue, but was dissapointed on the color, so I exchanged it by a black one. This jacket is warm, and I think a perfect compromise of many desirable attributes. It offers very decent wind protection, water repellency (it will keep you dry unless it is a friggin' downpour) and it breathes well. Other reviewers have done a good job at stating that it can be used with a base layer in 30ºF weather, or underneath a shell for nastier conditions. I love to pull the hood up when it gets cold. This bad boy will not pill, and the exterior will allow you to layer with comfort without binding. Even though it is fleece, the exterior reminds me of a soft shell. It is cut a bit long and will allow some room for some layering. I'm 5"10 and 170 lb and the medium fits me comfortably. It is a tiny bit loose, but still fitting in the Arcteryx style. Expensive but worth it. It has become my favorite fleece jacket.
