I found the wind challenger fleece hooded jacket very tight fitting. The material was too stiff and difficult to wear. I liked the color I chose but returned the jacket as I felt it not comfortable to wear.
ProsDurable, Great Value, Comfortable, Performing as Expected
I bought this hooded jacket to replace a fleece jacket that did not have a hood. It is lightweight, warm , and blocks the wind. I normally wear a small in LL Bean outerwear, but ordered it in a medium based on other reviews and am glad that I did. I also bought the Outdoor Reasearch Windstopper Peruvian Hat to match this fleece.

I bought this jacket for myself a couple years ago and I liked it so much that I bought ones for my husband, sons and sister. When the wind blows as it seems to do so much, I am warmer than in a regular fleece. I like the fit for myself and the ones for whom I bought the jacket. I can wear it by itself or when it is cold, it layers under my jacket very nicely. Great hooded jacket. Great fit. Glad LLBean still carries this item.
