I wasn't expecting to get much use out of this jacket until springtime but I have worn it most days when the temp. is 40 F or above. It has been great for out walking the dog and perfect for in and out of the car doing errands. It is comfortable to wear indoors as well because there is no bulk. The extra fabric by the zipper area is excellent for making the jacket windproof. I'm glad I took the chance and bought it.
This was my annual birthday present to myself. I had to use my coupon I received from Christmas Shopping. Iwas looking for a long sleeve zipper front fleece. I chose this one because of the stretchy sides that were a contrasting color. The stretchy sides act like princess seams and have a very slimming effect, bonus! It is one of the warmest fleeces I have ever owned. I wish it came in more colors. I have the Pink Berry (not official color name) one and have gotten a lot of complements on it. I wish it was a little cheaper.
I looked all over for a fleece jacket with all of the features this one has: zippered pockets, zippered chest pocket, neck zipper flap and fitted styling. I wanted something to wear as a layer for snowmobiling and this is working out great. I don't need to put as many layers on and I'm keeping just as warm. Recommend to anyone looking for a fleece jacket!
I wear this everytime I go out to run and it is below 40 degrees. I have worn it in snow and weather as low as -15 degrees and I am comfortable. I just have one or two base layers under it and it keeps me warm. The colors are great too, cheerful spring colors. I have it in green and blue.
