not enough mobility

By Dbs4457264 Ranked #813 - Women's Fleece Jackets February 22, 2011

I bought this fleece because I wanted something that I could backpack in, climb in, and snowboard in. After trying it out, I am returning it.

If I had bought this fleece just for snowboarding it would have been great. It's wind resistance is killer and its warm (and soft), so it's perfect to snowboard in on a spring day. However, there is very little mobility and the whole unit rises up when I left my arms, making it useless for climbing. The arms do not taper at the wrists, meaning that it isn't hard for snow to find it's way in there, and the pockets are too low, meaning that if I am wearing a backpack or harness I cannot access them.

I'm sad that this fleece didn't work out, but I need something a little bit more functional.
