This jacket is a pretty outstanding value, even though it's more than I needed. I purchased three in hopes that they were lightermore like a top to wear over a t-shirt. As a fleece, this is pretty heavy, like a light coat. The tail comes down to mid butt and the sleeves are perfectjust a tad long on my average arms. At 5'9” and 155, I almost always wear small and these smalls fit with room to easily wear a couple base layers or a sweatshirt underneath. Not as soft as I was hoping foragain, was thinking more of a top, not a coatbut reasonably soft for a jacket. Looks just fine. Was at an outdoor sports store and compared this to a Patagonia offering that was very similar in quality and feel. Zippers all work just fine. The bonus inner pockets do (inexplicably!) have holes in them large enough to lose your AirPods case, but good for larger things like hat, gloves, trail map, or cell phone. I wore one over a wool tshirt for a mountain hike. 30 degrees with 15 mph winds in the Boulder Flatirons. Overall just a little chilly after working up my body heat during a 2 hour hike. I didn't really need any more jackets but made room in the rotation for these. Smoking deal for what I paid!
