Purchased this on a cool winter evening. Didn't know what to expect, but the product is impressive. It is well-made, warm and stylish. Normally, I wear an Artyrx LEAF hoodie or GI fleece, but the Kuhl is much lower profile in a civilian setting and functions perfectly for its intended use. The chest pockets are perfectly sized for eyeglasses, the zip hand warmer pockets are well-placed, and the interior pockets provide a good place to secure a cell phone. The sleeves fit snugly, and the inside front panels in front keep the wind at bay. The thumb straps would be useful if wearing this bicycling. All-in-all, a good value for a well-designed product.
Wasn’t sure if spending $150 on a fleece would be worth it but this became the workhorse of my backpacking trip. Now I typically run hot anyways but was in temp ranges oh high 20’s to low 40’s. We were putting down big miles and even hiking in the dark, but I found that during the day with the work a shirt and my light base layer (from Costco) was perfect, but then at night o would put this on to layer up as temps dropped. During the day when we stopped for rest, I would pop this on to stay warm and shed again once hiking. Hardly wore my puffy at all. I would consider this a medium/heavy weight fleece by the way it kept me warm. Would recommend 100%
I’m a big fan of Kuhl clothing and bought this as an encore to a Kuhl Revel pullover, which is one of my favorite and most comfortable pieces of clothing. I really wanted to love this. It’s well made, stylish, and fits well. Unfortunately, Kuhl did not use flat stitching in the sleeves despite using it everywhere else in the garment. After a few hours, the double seams in the sleeves were driving me nuts. I know this is a small thing and may not bother other people, especially if you wear something under the sweater, but it was a dealbreaker for me given how I intended to use it. I’m going to wait and see if they change this in the new year model or just get an another Revel. 
This is so soft and comfortable. I've been a huge fan of Kuhl clothing for a long time and I have a lot. But this is my new favorite!
Not good fabric. I washed it alone, on a cold gentle cycle and hung dry. After 3 washes the fabric balled up so badly it looks terrible. There is so much shedding off of it, when you lint roller it to try and remove all the balls, the roller is covered with micro pieces of fabric. The sewing and styling is good, the fabric is very poor.
This jacket is absolutely perfect for all my backpacking needs. Whether I’m on the trail in wintertime, trying to fight back against the elements, or trying to warm up on chilly summer nights, this jacket keeps me warm and comfortable.
This jacket and another jacket were tossed into a shipping box liked you'd throw dirty laundry into a hamper. Not folded, not in a plastic sleeve, no tissue or other packing. It was in a heap. The jacket may have been ok, but I had no faith in this product being new and returned it. Never had this happen with REI before.
I’ve had this jacket for a few months now and it continues to be one of my favorite pieces. It holds its shape, resists pilling, and still looks sharp after repeated wear. The fleece provides solid warmth without feeling heavy, and the fit strikes a great balance between casual and technical. I’ve used it for everyday wear, light hikes, and road trips, it works for all of it. High-quality feel throughout. Definitely recommend it.
I chose this jacket largely because I like the fit of Kuhl XLs. In the case of other brands, a L is typically shorter than I would like, but an XL too roomy. I'm 6'2, and this jacket falls to the top of my thighs, mostly covering up the flannel shirts I like to layer with. The material is warm but not too heavy.
Love the brand. The jacket is stylish, perfect fit, and is warm. The problem is the material in that after a wash the material began to pile and it also a magnet for particles like pet hair. Keep in mind I washed it once after receipt following the directions and wore it once in an office setting. As an outdoors only product - probably great. I like the material for its warmth, not so much for the look.
