Best of What Fleece Can Offer

By parkcityjoe Ranked #4550 - Men's Fleece Jackets October 5, 2006

Let's face it, fleece has its limitations. There is no miracle jacket that does it all. However, this fleece jacket does exactly what TNF has claimed it does and that is good enough for me. It is a fairly warm fleece jacket with excellent breathability, and zips under a shell very nicely. It is not as comfortable as the "Blackhawk" jacket by TNF on it's own, but it is very comfortable as a jacket, or midlayer. It keeps it's warmth on a cold and windy day, but is still very comfortable when stepping inside for a while. I could not believe how well this jacket breathes considering the conditions it is made for. It is as comfortable as a wool sweater indoors (without the itch), and much warmer than wool outside. However, this is not the end all. One still needs a shell jacket, or high performance soft shell, and if you want to make sure you are going to be warm you still need a down or Primaloft jacket. But if you want something to wear during activity in the cold, an excellent layer, or something to lounge around in, this is the jacket for you. It is expensive, but all jackets with this material run in this range. This is specialized clothing at its best.
