Overall, great jacket and I'm happy with my purchase. It's soft, the sleeve length is great, and the overall fit is good. It's a little on the thin side and isn't quite long enough for my taste. I wish there was an additional inch in length. Be aware that the "Zion Red" is a bit more orange than what is depicted on the site. I bought it on sale for $35. Had it been its original price, I would have been disappointed. As it is, however, I'm a happy camper.
I am in love with this fleece. I haven’t stopped wearing it since the day it arrived. The sleeves are the perfect length, the pockets are well placed and it is cut to leave you plenty of room. It also washes well. I have had it a couple of months and no significant pilling. Very happy with my purchase and I plan to get other colors!
I really like this jacket! I feel like it is a great spring/fall jacket. I have 2 things that I feel could be better. I wish that the jacket fell lower on my hips than it does and I wish the sleeves were a touch longer. Otherwise, it is a great jacket and it works pretty well for hiking and for lounging.
Great lightweight jacket for in between seasons here in Minnesota! Soft, lightweight but also warm! Love the vintage look. I am a big woman and finding jackets that fit is a struggle; this one seems to run large enough to not be tight around my belly and is also long enough to keep me covered (those who struggle with this will understand!) I haven't tested it on the trails yet; probably wont stand up well to a few tree branches to the sleeve as it is a soft/thin fleece.
I really love this jacket! I got it on sale, to replace my old ratty grey one. I love the color, I love the weight of it, I love the fit. (Plus size) I love the little black sleeve cuff. I haven’t worn it in any bad conditions yet, not sure how it will perform in cold and rain, so I will have to update on that later. I don’t know why I was so surprised with how much I love this jacket, but I got it out of the package, put it on, and immediately knew it will be one that gets lots of wear! Love, love, love!
Very comfy fleece with attractive accent colors and excellent chest pocket.
I love the retro look of this jacket! I'm pretty sure I coveted one of these in HS in the 90s... The color and styling are really pretty but it's not as warm as I thought it would be.. Or as wind proof as I expected. It also runs quite large. I haven't been a small in anything in a while but I tried on the Medium and I was swimming in it.
Terrific fleece jacket. Very generous sizing - I went down to a 1X and still have plenty of room in area, through arms, shoulders and tummy.
If I know I'm going somewhere chilly and I need to pack light, I'll reach for this jacket. Super warm and cozy. Sometimes a little TOO warm! (I break out into a sweat wearing this sometimes) Still a huge fan! I have this in two colors :)
I love this jacket for walking/hiking. It's very soft, and includes a stand up collar for warmth. There are 3 zippered pockets, which are super handy! My only issue (the reason for 4 stars) is the atrocious color choices for women.
