Excellent fleece

The high-loft fleece does a great job of retaining warmth, especially under a shell. It's not windproof, but I've worn it in -5C weather(light wind and snowfall, hiking) with an Arc'Teryx Gamma SV vest, and it kept me warm. I've worn it under a 650wt down jacket in -30C weather, and I stayed very warm. It's lightweight, and the functional sleeves are great. It won't shed water, but I've worn it in light snowfalls and stayed warm; and it dries quickly. I prefer the lack of windproofing during physical activities, particularly as the MHW can get hot. For what it's worth, the "fuzziness" is pretty cool, and it stands out from other fleeces in terms of aesthetics.
