Like a second skin to me

I bought this because it was on sale, color is killer, and I wanted a nice lightweight fleece. The slim fit is great as other patagonia stuff is too boxy for my frame. I'm 6ft 160lb and wear a medium. It's a tad short length-wise but I can live with that because of the fit everywhere else. Anyway, there's rarely an occasion when I don't grab this guy. It's a great stand alone when there's a slight chill out or an equally great base layer for colder temps. Wrap a down sweater, rain shell, softshell, insulated softshell over this thing or any combo of those mentioned depending on temp and you're set. It's slick outer material makes it slide right into your shell no problem and never gets bunched up. One star short of a 5 star rating due to price- 140 is a LOT for 100wt fleece. If you can grab it on sale it's not as painful and your expeditions will be a lot more comfortable.
