Great for Climbing

By eceperley912460 Ranked #2852 - Women's Fleece Jackets October 17, 2008

I've had this jacket for 4 years and have found it to be useful for only specific conditions. For me, its not a go-everywhere jacket. Its great to layer over a long sleeve shirt but you can't put much else under it. It's kind of bulky and stiff and I find myself not taking it if I think I'll take it off because its hard to fit in a day pack. Also, it tends to get somewhat sweaty if you wear it while hiking or sleeping. All that being said, this jacket is PERFECT for climbing. It has loose cut, full range, perfect length arms and is short enough to not get in the way of your harness. Also, it is super warm for its size and is pretty low-profile (no hood, hanging cinch pulls, etc). I've found that if you get a little sweaty, opening the large pockets vents it pretty well (pockets are lined in mesh).
