Good Heavy-weight fleece

This fleece perfomed well on a multi-day alpine hike. Very nice breathability for its warmth/weight. I liked the fit and the weight alot, and it is pretty useful both at altitude and going to work. There are, however, a few things which really put me off about this coat. I do like the fabric/feel of the garment, but the pattern of the fleece makes it look kind of plaid. I like plaid, but not in my fleece. It is really kind of off-putting and I didn't appreciate this in the pics. More importantly, there is no waist draw strap, which leads to the inevitable icy breeze up the spine.
Overall, a great multi-purpose garment with a couple of things that could be improved.
