This was one of the first fleece's i ever owned and it was adequate for the job. as TNF grew over the years, the quality of this jacket has decreased so the "style" factor can increase making it affordable to everyone (which is nice)but resulted in TNF more interested in getting their name out instead of quality jackets. This jacket is more of a "around town" jacket and not recommended for backcountry adventures as it is super heavy and not built to quality.

Unfortunately, Roger A., if people looking for style over function were a "niche market" then TNF would never have started marketing to them. Hardcore gearheads and demanding outdoorspeople are much more of a niche market. Hence why TNF is laughing all the way to the bank as they continue to charge high-end gear prices for pieces marketed to a mostly undiscerning consumer base.

I think TNF needs to get serious about outdoor gear and get away from the niche market to college kids.
