Good buy, if you don't live in a windy place

By Grogs Ranked #182 - Men's Fleece Jackets January 19, 2012

Picked this up on sale at a sporting goods store in the US for $50 and it was a steal. As the description says, its a great piece when the weather is cold and dry. I will add not windy though. wind cuts through this jacket like scissors through paper. On those windy and warmer days I layer with a simple windbreaker. However, I was ok just wearing this jacket (layering with a long sleeved t shirt) at -10 to -15 degrees C (5 to 15 F). it is also cool enough you can leave on inside. However, one negative is that since it is part of a layering system, there are snaps near the wrists that can be bothersome when you write while wearing the fleece. also the cuffs are pretty tight so you can't roll up your sleeves.

I would say it is much warmer than the MEC Trek 4 Jacket for comparison.
