not warm

By yauwow222057420 Ranked #411 - Women's Fleece Jackets February 23, 2009

This jacket was disappointing, I have a 6 yr old midweight fleece from REI and despite how worn down it is, it was way warmer than this jacket. I live in southern california and so I don't know how others are finding this jacket warm, but on a cold rainy day here when I was wearing this jacket I was so cold! And I don't get cold easily. It was almost like I wasn't wearing a nice expensive fleece at all.
Also it's not very soft and I found the seams on the arms were uncomfortable, as they were thick, not flexible, and rubbed against my skin. And while it does block the wind better than a true fleece, it wasn't warm at all so I had to return it. I bought a patagonia synchilla instead, it's super warm and blocks some wind (more than my 6 yr old fleece) and I'm much happier with it. the patagonia jacket is also much more flattering as it has a nice waist. Disappointing jacket from the north face!
