I LOVE this fleece!!!!

So this was my first North Face Fleece- I've had other stuff by them and I figured it was time for a nice warm fleece.

This jacket is awesome- warm, heavy weight, exactly what I was looking for. It isn't a layering jacket, if that's what you're looking for- it's a bit too bulky for that, unless you zip it into a north face outer shell, but it is perfect for autumn days and even winter I'm sure if you wear something warm under it.

Others have said this jacket isn't at all windproof- I would have to revise and say it is "breeze-proof," but nothing more than that. I've worn it on a 45 degree, slightly breezy day with just a long sleeve shirt underneath and been perfectly fine.

As far as sizing goes, I'm 5'5.5" and I ordered the large. I'm glad I did. Although part of the jacket is nice and loose (this is not a tight, form fitting jacket), the very bottom of the jacket has a non-stretchy hem that I think is basically the limiting factor as far as sizing goes. If I had ordered a medium, the rest of the jacket would have fit tighter but the hem itself would have been too small. You can always cinch it smaller, too, with the drawstrings that are included on it.

Overall, I love this fleece. Nice, soft, warm enough for cool fall weather, and adorable as well. I want to buy another one in a different color!
