Warm, attractive, sub-technical

Like others here, I am wearing this as I type. I find this hoody to be super warm and cozy due to the fleece interior and wool-poly blend exterior. It's a heavy weight item, but it fits under my marmot sharpoint jacket and is not restrictive. The hood is nice, there is an elastic drawcord to sinch the hoody. It feels like an athletic cut in the body, which I like. And the thumbholes are nice for layering and for that extra warm feeling. This jacket has a nice look to it, it doesn't drape over me, and I can throw it in my pack to toss on after my morning bicycle commute. One drawback I've found is that the sleeve length on my jacket is a bit short, not noticeable unless I use the thumbholes and extend my arm. When I don't use the thumbloops it fits just fine. I intend to use it primarily for around the town activities and maybe, just maybe, as a back-up heavy layer for light backpacking.
