Owned one before and wanted a "fresh" one in new color for this year. Almost ordered a medium based on LLBean sizing. Thank goodness I checked the size of my old one and saw it was small because that was right. The inside gets "pilled" over time, but the outside stays fine. A good staple for comfy, casual winter wear.
This fleece is THE essential layer to have on 20-below days skiing, or just as a light, warm and casual alternative to a sweater. Worth the money EVERY time. The colors and softness hold up so well!
