WindPROOF

By Ryan OConnell Ranked #44 - Men's Fleece Jackets May 26, 2011

This is a perfect wind stopper, the fleece adds the warmth and softness needed to make it a stand alone for many applications. I got this fleece on sale last September and WHAT a deal, it does not allow any wind in, I even held my arm out of the window on a 30 something degree day in the middle of the winter, going 50 mph and nothing... no chill, nothing! A base layer or light fleece underneath make it go a lot further, although plenty of times I found myself wearing this with only a beanie and a t-shirt.

One small drawback is that the Windstopper fabric itself is a little rigid and does not allow for much stretch. I haven't found this to hinder me from doing anything, but it does not feel as fluid as some of my other pieces. Also, this stuff does not pack as well as typical fleece.

This thing is great, pricey but WAY more useful than a typical fleece, think about what you are getting for your money, it's not too bad.
