I have only worn the fitness fleece a few times but so far I really like it. I like the smaller collar because it is more comfortable indoors. I also like the inside because it slides over long sleeve shirts better than fleece inside. If you are looking for an outdoor fleece for winter than this is not the fleece you want. I have ordered the navy, the navy heather, the peony heather and the teal colors. Can't have enough of these as I wear them everyday indoors.
I live in the fitness jackets, and have really wanted one that was made of fabric with a pattern. My wish came true. Now I'm wishing for other color combos aside from black and white. I have the blue one and can wear it with a variety of t's and turtle necks. The body is a good hip length, the sleeves are long enough, the fabric is great. Did I mention that I love it? More colors please.
I loved this sweater jacket, the fleece is warm but its not too heavy. Perfect for cool mornings outdoors golfing, or walking. I'm ordering it again in the other color. Sizing is perfect.
I bought the navy blue fitness fleece jacket in medium for travel to Italy in Sept./Oct. It was my only sweater since I was packing light. It was perfect for all occasions; walking around cities and small towns in southern Italy, day hiking if it was chilly, going out to dinner, even dressed up with a scarf and black skirt for the opera. I previously wore a pink fitness fleece to Slovenia and Croatia in August. Same happy result. It can be dressy or casual as needed.
