All other fleeces rendered useless!

I have owned this piece for almost two years now and it never lets me down. Living in MN, windchill is always a factor so you need to have something that blocks the wind. TNF's Denali might be warm around the house, but with the slightest breeze you might as well not be wearing it at all. The R4 cuts the wind and is incredibly warm. I'm a big fan of the higher pockets too, and you don't need pitzips when your pockets double as vents. I am 6'0"/165 lbs and I ordered a Large so I could layer underneath on colder days, though a Medium would have worked a bit better if I wasn't going to layer. With this jacket all you need to remember is to throw a hardshell in your pack in case of rain or snow. Hands down, this is the best fleece ever and I won't buy another one until this one wears out, and then I'll get the latest R4 again!
