Ranked #2102 - Men's Fleece Jackets
October 8, 2009
I bought this piece based solely on good reviews on this website. And I wear it every day since I got it. It's really lightweight, full zip makes it easy to take it off/put back on, the fabric itself is warm and breathable, both design and quality are top notch. The only thing I find a bit off is that the zipper is on the girls side and that sleeves are kinda wide (unless your guns are ridiculously large). Overall, really well thought and made jacket.

If most people are right handed it would seem logical to have the pull on the right. (unless you are lefthanded)

Hi Magnus, I believe that zipper configuration is specific to the USA, not North America! I didn't realize that there was a "girls and boys" side for zippers in the US until someone mentioned it after I moved to the US (I am Canadian). Reason for my statement: I own a number of Sierra Design clothes manufactured in the Foymount, Ontario, Canada plant - zipper design is the opposite (of the US). The pull part of the zipper is on the left for their Canadian clothing (unless it's changed since the 1990's). Regards, Marc

Hey! There's no girls' and boys' side of the zipper. It is mainly a difference between North American and European companies. We find it eaqually irritating with NA brands
