I just got the hoodie fitness fleece. It's just the ivory color I wanted! I was a little suprised at just how thin it is (it's not really fleece on the inside). However, it is incredibly soft inside and out and will be an awesome piece for layering! I live in the south too, so it will be great to have in fall and spring and as a light jacket on summer nights if it's breezy/cooler. It would be great to run in in the cooler seasons and it'd be great for hiking/backpacking as a layer. I also LOVE the fit. I am 5'7 about 135, so average size, and this looks very nice. It is fitted in the right places, yet does not hug so tightly that you feel uncomfortable! I also feel like I could fit long sleeves under it, though probably not something too thick. It is a piece that I feel like would look equally nice on a 20 year old and a 50 year old! Classic!
I am certainly a lover the Beans Fitness Fleece, but this hooded fleece takes the cake. It is the perfect weight for a crisp fall morning and is also the perfect weight/thickness when layering under a raincoat or windbreaker. Thank you Beans! You've done it again.
