My Goto lightweight jacket

By Esoteric Ranked #47 - Men's Fleece Jackets March 12, 2010

I own jackets from Arcteryx, Patagonia, and MHW, everything from the fanciest to the most technical... and yet, THIS is the everyday fleece I grab wherever I go.This is comfortable, lightweight, and almost windproof. It is very warm and soft, actually just as warm as the Denali Wind Pro from what I can tell. I grab this every day for the fall, good quality.No it is not water resistant, but it doesn't rain much here. I just keep a light weight shell in the back in case it rains. For those who are torn between this and the Apex Bionic, let me tell you this is more comfortable, and warmer. Apex only gets the edge with water resistance.You have to remember that softshells conduct the cold outside in.

Also, the windwall 2 is slim enough as a great mid layer if sized correctly.
