The North Face Annapurna 1/4-Zip Fleece Sweater - Men's - 2009 BCS

I brought this fleece on a 10 day backpacking trip to the Rocky Mountains and it served as my warmest layer. If you are bringing a capilene base-layer as well as a rain jacket this fleece is great for your layer in between those two if it gets really chilly. I never felt cold in it on nights when were at 10,000 feet elevation next to glacial lakes. I would say it's a great buy for any camping trip as well as for just a casual fleece at school or for winter weather.

Nice lightweight layering shirt. I'll use it on mild days as a stand alone, if there is a chilly breeze, I find myself grabbing for a jacket. It does seem to run a little small. I'll give it a 4 out of 5. The price leaves me feeling a little unsatisfied, but overall it's lightweight, breathable, and will be a good insulator layer under a shell.

Nice fleece top. Runs on the small size.

I was looking for a middle layer for my TNF heathen jacket. I don't think this material is warm enough to keep me warm in the winter (combo). The cut for a size medium is quite tight around my torso (medium usually is on the loose side for me). The material is very soft... like wool blend. I don't like wool much. :(

I ended up returning this fleece and got a Delani WindPro jacket as the middle layer for my Heathen jacket. I'm much happier with this combo.

I really like this fleece - it is just the right weight for layering. I wear a TNF Velocitee shirt under and it is the perfect combination for work or play. It gives me an additional layering option for skiing.
