This is the third fitness fleece item I have purchased, and I intend to buy more! I have this jacket in chocolate brown and ivory. The brown one stays in my hiking backpack and is great layered over the quarter zip fitness fleece and a t-shirt under another fleece jacket for winter hikes in rain or snow on skies or snowshoes. I took the ivory jacket to Washington, DC over spring break in March, and it was the only jacket I needed! I love this lightweight fleece! (And . . . yes . . . 20 years in Alaska has turned my blood to sludge, so I go into meltdown at 65 degrees.)
The material is soft and doesn't get rough with washing/drying repeatedly. I like the lightweight fabric because I dislike bulkiness in jackets. I bought two of these because my 11-year old daughter kept borrowing my jacket. The meadow violet color is a nice shade. It is so very comfortable, fits well and the price is reasonable for the nice features and workmanship.
