The Perfect Fleece
By Jon D
Ranked #227 - Men's Fleece Jackets
March 26, 2009
I have had mine for a few years now. It is really amazing. I am 6-4 215 and the XL fits me perfectly. Looking at this on the internet doesn't do it justice. Its soft and fluffy on the inside and outside. Not stiff compact fleece like all other wind block fleeces on the market. The stretch makes it really comfortable and the breathability is great. I wear this backpacking when the temps are below freezing and usually have it mostly unzipped while hiking. My only complaint is that for some reason it pulls whatever shirt I am wearing down in the back causing it to choke my my neck in the front. It must have something to do with the orientation of the fibers on the lining.
