Nice fitted fleece

Glad to have found this! Wore it the day I got it around my apartment to keep warm without turning up the heat. Wore it on a 3 mile run in 40 degree weather, 10mph wind, and light rain - over a short sleeve tech tee and was warm the whole time. I have also worn this as my outer layer on runs down into the upper 20s. While not a windbreaker, it helps cut down on the wind. Inside of the jacket is very soft; collar fabric is soft too. Collar comes a little higher than the zipper so you don't poke yourself.I'm 5'2", 120lbs. So according to Marmot's height/weight size chart I could have gone XS or S. I ordered a Small in the green (great shade of green!) Hits at hip on me; a little lower in back- partially covers my bum. Sleeves are plenty long, though that's rarely an issue for me. Was able to ball my fists up inside the sleeves until I had warmed up enough to use the thumb holes. This jacket is fitted, but not too tight over my 35" bust (maybe 34" smooshed into a sports bra). I've still got room to wear a long sleeve base layer underneath when I wear this skiing in the winter. The XS would have been very fitted, possibly a little too tight in the waist/hips.Only complaint is that there are no pockets; a zip pocket on the back would have been great. Luckily my running shorts/tights all have a pocket in them (i.e. for a key) so it's not an issue.
