my new favorite fleece

By Vanessa H. Ranked #40 - Women's Fleece Jackets September 12, 2009

If you like the athletic fit of Arc'teryx, you'll dig this jacket. I bought it because I like the color combo of lime and grey, and was totally surprised to find it fit me perfectly! I'm 5'11" and 135lbs., and jackets are never as long as I'd like - this one covers my butt in the back and doesn't let cold air in when I'm sitting.
This is a lightweight/mid-weight jacket, which is great for between-season or summer night use. My only request would be an interior pocket, but for the sale price I got it for, I'm very pleased.
As recommended by Backcountry, I did size up and am very happy I did. Usually I wear a medium in jackets, but went with a large this time. The arms are perfectly long enough (hits me at the main joint of my thumb), and the shoulders perfectly broad. I wear a size 6 or 8 pants, and the waist of this jacket was just right as well - not baggy, not tight. If you're short-torso-ed, the large may be too long for you, so consider yourself warned.
The fleece is soft and attractive to the eye. The green is nowhere near as vivid as the picture suggests - it's more of a spring-green. The pale lime green is flecked with grey, and I was happy it wasn't as "electric" as the picture seems to suggest. My boyfriend loves the look of this jacket on me, and I'm very pleased with this brand. Montane, I heart you.
