Nice lightweight fleece. Soft inside. Just not completely sold on the fit or color. Was really on the fence about returning.

Great base or mid layer

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Vetiver is a lovely grey green color. Arms are long enough for my lanky 5’10” arms which is fantastic and rare! I am 125 lbs and got a small which easily fits a long sleeve underneath but i would like to try an XS so I could wear as a first baselayer!

Great if…

I have this fleece from previous years. It’s the only fleece I wear and love. I bought this years version and it’s been completely redesigned. It no longer fits and I am very disappointed. I’m 5’7” and the length is too long for me. The sleeve fit alittle long and my arms are unusually long. If you have broad shoulders and arms with muscle it will fit you. The bottom around hips is quite narrow. If you have broad shoulders, narrow hips and are tall; this fleece was made for you. Pass on this version if that is not how your are build.

Women's Olden is fabulous!

My wife rides horses in cold weather and absolutely loved this mid-layer. The Polartec material is fantastic. Loved it so much that I bought her 2 more in different colors.

Nice and warm

I got this to have a warmer layer skiing. It’s nice and thick. It runs a full size large, so I exchanged the medium for a small. The small is perfect and sleeves are plenty long.

Polartec Power Stretch

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really was not sure if these tops would prove to be as good as the ones I own from another popular manufacturer, but purchased 15 years ago. My old Polartec Power Stretch clothing was made to fit like a second skin and a lot thicker than these (300 fleece). I purchased 3 in XS hoping they would fit more snugly than the way they are cut to fit, but they did not fit snug at all. That defeats the purpose, but I wore them anyway and tested their performance and in comparison to the ones I got 10-15 years ago, they are 'meh', but . . . they did perform well in 17-20 degrees during my long runs. Actually they performed VERY well. If the cut was appropriate to the function of Power "Stretch" I would have given these garments 5 stars.-They don't make 'em like they used to.
