Heavy fleece

By Roger Ault Ranked #696 - Men's Fleece Jackets February 17, 2011

Wow this one weighs over 39oz on local postal scale (size xxl) Has a regular fit which allows for layering. I agree fully with the reviews below that this is a heavy jacket and can stand alone. Yet it leaves room for layering on cold windy days.

I haven't been out in the wind yet but it certainly feels like it is highly wind resistant if not windproof.

I bought this one slightly used and washed it right away. The Omni-Shield repelled water well but I washed in Revivex DWR just for good measure.

I wouldn't plan on trying to pack this in my pack because of weight and bulk but it certainly is a nice jacket for when the weather is a little nasty. Windy cool days will be no match for this thing from my first impression. I will update if anything changes.
