Awesome mid-layer

By Russ A Ranked #4287 - Men's Fleece Jackets November 10, 2005

I like this jacket because it is warmer, blocks wind better and moves better than the Delta AR. Patagonia has done a great job in refining this jacket. It is not bulky, breathes, it layers well, and does not snag on base layers like other fleeces such as the Apache AR. Patagonia has the best and the most comfortable collar in the business, nice to wear all day long. The pockets are a generous size for keeping the mitts warm and all the zips work really well. The only down side to this jacket is that it does not have a waist hem drawcord. Patagonia could do more to improve this and they could also shorten the front by an inch or so. It is the same length as my Gamma MX Hoody & Alpha Comp Hoody shells which means it can creep out and get wet. Other than these points, I would have given it a 5.
