I love this fleece jacket because it is lightweight, yet warm for cool days and nights. It packs well - I brought it to Machu Picchu, and it was the perfect jacket for layering!
I have two jackets - raspberry and lime. The zippered pockets are very convenient to secure keys, money, etc.
This is a great jacket to wear year round. I bought it in a few different colors so that I could wear it for exercise and physical therapy. I have washed it more than once and it still looks like new.
I received this jacket as a gift. Because it was the same color as my existing Polartec, I thought I would return it. But when I took it out, I realized it was lighter than the other one and perfect for the times when it is just a smidgeon cool. Because it was cut a little small, I needed to up the size.
I own many of these great fleeces but I agree with OrienteerNewYork that the flag blue is a problem. I have one in flag blue and mistakenly ordered it again because it looked so different in the ad. There used to be a lovely deep blue (yes, like the American flag) but it is no longer available. Please bring it back -- mine is worn out.
