I recommend this sweater as the most satisfying purchase I've made in years. Living in the Pacific Northwest I run into the problem of trying to find the right weight and fabric clothing for before and after my trail runs. I've found many mens' garments are bulky, oversized and less effective, so I bought a women's XL and the snugness of the fit works perfectly for my runner physique. The sweater is truly an amazing, stylish garment that is remarkably functional and warm. Before a run it keeps me warm without being cumbersome. I often warm up in a parking lot wearing it,continue to wear it on really cold, wet days, or put it on again after finishing a workout, usually when I'm soaked and changing in the back of my SUV. The sweater is a godsent at helping me warm up again without having to wear some absurdly bulky down jacket. As a day to day sweater, it also works great, is again really stylish and shows no sign of wear or tear even though it's worn just about every other day.
