I have been looking for this Holy Grail quarter zip sweat with a kangaroo pocket to add to my Lands End one. LE no longer offers this so I tried this one. The fabric is not as sophisticated as LE. A simple 50/50 cotton-poly blend. It looks like a sweat and the outside is a little rough or boardy in texture. The inside is fleeced and pretty soft. . The shape and fit of the body very generous. Maybe too generous. I am 6'2 and weigh 215. Fairly baggy, but plenty of room to layer in this XL. Too baggie for me. The sleeves are a bit short for me, which is a pet peeve of mine, so I don't like this. The shoulders are sewn in way that makes the shoulder joint kind of stand out like Darth Vader, which is a good look for him. Annoying for me. Look at the model pictures, you can see the same effect on him.On the positive side, the pockets join together into a honest to god kangaroo pocket, which is key if you are going to stick glassed or your phone in there and have them stay a little bit. The pocket openings are on the seam, which is a little awkward. Would be better in the front.Overall, a pretty good item if this is what you want. Me, I will continue my quest to equal my Lands End model and unfortunately this one does not.
