Too warm.

By Joshua Dormont Ranked #18 - Men's Fleece Jackets January 10, 2012

If you're looking for something to throw on as you walk around a cold city, or sit by your tent then the R4 will definitely keep you warm. I had to return mine, however, when I stepped up the exertion (or even when the temps hit the 40s). It's barely breathable and fits like a box (I'm 5'11", 195). I even tried going down to a medium, which was closer, but just wasn't right. As others have commented, at least for the 2011 model they still don't have the cinch on the bottom or arms.

With the extra heat, the poor fit, and lack of technical features, it just wasn't for me.
