Nice and stylish but...technical?

By jbm_13 Ranked #667 - Men's Fleece Jackets February 8, 2011

I can't believe everyone giving this a full 5 stars and more than one reviewer saying it's "technical" or has "technical features". First and foremost this thing is for mostly casual wear. Of course it has Scandinavian styling flourishes along with nice metal zipper pulls...but the "thumbloops" (simple fabric thumbcatches on the inside of the cuffs) aren't really a technical feature so much as something that you MUST use if wearing this under another jacket. The reason is that there are no real cuffs..and the material actually flares a bit at the wrists. Overall I have to give it 4 stars just for style, but the fleece material is very thin and only suitable for mildly cool days. Oh, and before I forget...this particular jacket isn't one size too small like many European brands, so feel free to get your normal size.
