I really wanted to love this, but I just can't. Although the fit is fine, thanks for making a fleece that you can wear over regular clothes, the fabric is just awful. The hood is so stiff that it stands way out from my head. So, it will keep the elements away, except those that can get in through the open spaces... I really wish Beanwould bring back some of the great fleeces they used to have that had elastic at the cuffs and bottom and you could wear as a jacket. It feels like they have just gone cheap.
I really like this jacket so far. It is very comfortable and I really like the hood. It seems like good quality. I was surprised by the color. I chose the green. It is bright lime green! Not the softer green I was expecting. I really wish they had more choices of colors.
It is thin, yet warm, and it breathes. The hood is very functional, and the pockets are equally good for warming your hands or carrying your keys, (they have zippers for security).
It is perfect for spring, fall, cool summer evenings, boat trips, camping, you name it! The material it is made of is almost miraculous!
My only beef is that the colors are so limited. I would LOVE to have this in pure white, to go with all my summer outfits, and pastels would be great also, especially if there were no contrast piping.
When this jacket is solid colored it looks nice enough to wear with a skirt or even a dress. I wore my black one to church today.
This jacket is the most used item in my entire wardrobe! It also washes well and looks good for years.
This jacket is exactly what I wanted! It blocks the wind, is warm and has a cozy hood. The bright green with navy trim is pretty and just what I expected. It's roomy, leaving a lot of layering space and yet the sleeves are just right in length for me. Wore it at the beach and it was ideal for the cool, windy weather on the Pacific NW coast.
