Good and solid materials

I bought this on sale, just looking for an additional fleece to throw in my bag during winter camping. I ordered a medium in the brown, (5'9" 150lbs) and it fit near perfect... the arms were a hair too long. I just folded them up once, and I was ready to go. I wore a thermal shirt, this fleece and my Arc'teryx Venta SV jacket in 20F winter weather and was more than comfortable. The material looks deceiving in the pictures. You might be thinking soft fleece, but its a harder pyle, similar to a towel like fabric. This originally disappointed me, however I realized that this type of pyle/weave is much more durable and less prone to sticking together, giving that worn-out look that many of the other fleeces provide. The shoulders also dont have a seam across the top, so your pack wont rub you raw which is nice as well. I'll definitely be buying more Kavu products in the future.
