I love this jacket because it is warm, but sleek enough to layer under a jacket without added bulk. At first I was afraid the lack of a drawstring would mean the hood would flop off my head, but it is constructed to stay put.
ProsDurable, Great Value, Comfortable, lightweight, warm, great for travel
I love the fitness fleece hoodies and vests. They are lightweight yet warm and sooo comfortable without adding bulk. I always get lots of complements while wearing them. They launder well and are great for traveling as they are versatile and pack well. I wish that there were more color choices, though. I wear a medium and it seems to fit true to size. If you plan on laundering at home and drying in a dryer, I would go up a size in the fleece- it does tend to shrink a little, but not drastically. I usually dryclean mine, although it is not necessary. I hope LL Bean continues to carry these fleece and vests. I'll be back for more colors when available.
I have this item in several colors and styles (hoodie, zip). It provides just the right amount of coverage for a fall day or a cooler summer evening. The tailored fit prevents it from looking bulky.
Love, love, love the Pacific Blue color. I have two of these hoodies, and wear them a lot. My only tiny suggestion is that it would be nice if they were fleecy and cozy on the *inside*--I'd like the softness next to my skin! When I'm home, I wear this inside out. :) But even right-side out, a nice addition to my wardrobe; very lightweight yet warm, and easy to toss in a purse or pack.
