Warm, stretchy, durable, comfortable

By Nurse Ben Ranked #180 - Men's Fleece Jackets March 10, 2008

I was looking for a good mid layer stretch fleece that wouldn't attract dog hair. I looked at the Specter Jacket and Specter Pullover. I chose the Specter pullover because it has a roomier fit, more room in the arms for wearing over a long sleeve shirt, and the weight to warmth ratio is fair for a layering piece. A nice top for the $, warmer than a Patagonia Zip T, but lighter than a wind-pro fleece, I'd consider it comparable to a 100 weight fleece, but more durable, and four way stretch. Fit is about right, I'm 6', 200#, large bones, long arms, medium torso length, wide shoulders, I wear an XL and it has enough room for a long sleeve underneath. As to the flat seams being a problem (see other reviews), flat seems are appropriate to this style of a top (athletic). I guess I'd be sure to not over stretch the top when putting it on, though from what I can see, the seems are well done and durable. A nice top.
