Versatile and functional

This fleece does fit very close to the body; I am 6'0"/165 lbs and the Medium fits well with just a thin baselayer underneath. I couldn't get anything else under it, so if you want to layer, just order a size up (which I've found is the case with most Marmot gear). However, it blocks the wind and is warm, so I can throw it under a soft- or hardshell as needed to warm things up. Overall, I've been happier with my Patagonia R4, and if you're looking for a fleece that is windproof and warm and easier to layer underneath, that is the fleece you should be looking at. But all in all, this is a good piece of gear that I can use by itself in spring and fall and under a shell in winter.
