Sizing Notes
Measurements are stated in inches unless otherwise indicated. Size chart values represent body measurements, not garment measurements.
SHORT: Some pants are available in short sizes, which generally means an inseam that is 2.5 inches shorter than regular sizes.
TALL: Some pants, shirts, jackets and parkas are available in tall sizes, which generally means an inseam that is 3 inches longer and a rise that is 1 inch longer, a shirt or jacket body that is 2 inches longer, a parka body that is 2.5 inches longer and sleeves that are 2.5 inches longer than regular sizes.
Capri or cropped pants have an intentionally shorter inseam—reference the technical specs instead of this chart.

Nice but does not replace others in the quiver
This jacket seems to fit the ethos behind the Flash line with minimal features. Its a fairweather light-mid layer. Lounging around, it seemed warm enough. Do not expect to stay warm in this with a base layer underneath in 40 degree weather (subjective; I run hot). I layered this while skiing and wore during runs around the neighborhood. The fit is boxy which made layering a bit uncomfortable. The fabric is prone to absorbing sweat and holding onto stains (food stains, for example). The interior is a comfy brushed fleece. I would wear this around the house or on walks if the weather is somewhat chilly, dry out, and without wind.
Prefect fleece
Great fleece. Really light weight, very warm and comfortable. I’ve been using it as a walk about jacket and been very comfortable in sunny winter weather at 7k feet. Added it to my running gear as a mid layer in cold damp weather and it performs marvelously; more than comfortable on the run. Great as a top layer when the weather is dry; hood more than suffices for head cover and drops down over my pretty large head with room to spare. I’m 6 foot 208 lbs and probably should have had an XL, as I think I shrank it a little in the wash and can feel the difference in the arms. But, all in all, I love it! It’s definitely one I reach for heading out the door.
Great for Hiking and Trail Running
This fleece is super impressive for hiking, trail running, and outdoor climbing due to it being extremely lightweight and fairly warm. It has a few great features like strong zippers, sizeable pockets, and a cinch cord for the waist. I wouldn't say it's super warm as a base layer, but for active pursuits this jacket is ideal. I used it on a 20 degree day for an easy trail run and it was perfect. It feels durable and is super easy to throw in a vest or a pack.
Love the fit/feel, but already falling apart
Pros: love the size and how it stretches and how much it keeps me warm relative to its mass Cons: wore it just for a couple days in an office setting, and stitches on the hood and zipper are already becoming undone (see pics). Worried how it will hold up when i actually take it outside
Great lightweight zip fleece - better than a hoody
I received this zip fleece hoodie two weeks ago, and not a day has gone by that I haven’t worn it. I love it! It’s lightweight, fits me perfectly (I’m 5’9 150#) and got a size medium), and surprisingly warm - I was fine wearing it with a T-shirt underneath in the high 50s while walking my dog. It also was relatively windproof. It has two deep/zip front pockets, which are great for my wallet, keys, and the dog leash. The hood also fit over my baseball cap when I put it up in a light rain but it wasn’t weirdly big like a sweatshirt hood. It has good zippers with good pole tags that are not cheap plastic. Really I can’t say enough about this fleece jacket - I really like it. I live in Northern California and can wear it year-round, but today I’m in Colorado and I’m wearing it under a down vest and it’s perfect.
Good Looking Fleece Jacket
I bought the blue/grey version. Just the right weight for cool days or evenings when I need more than a short sleeve shirt but less than a heavy jacket, or to warm up on the tennis court before the game begins. I like the inside draw string at the bottom so that the jacket fits snugly a few inches below the waist. Mine has red piping along the zipper. I don't expect to use the hood unless it's windy. Very light weight. Two large front pockets can easily accommodate keys, a phone or gloves. I'm 5' 10", 165 pounds, and the Large fits well. My wife likes it.
Wear it a LOT.
Wear it a lot in the house over a T-shirt as a moderate weight sweater. Very, totally, comfortable. Good outdoors too layered. My one complaint: no drawstrings for the hood. On windy, cold--for the Bay Area-- days the hood isn't tight enough and annoying cold wind enters. Overall I love it. 5* because I wear it so much. Got one for my adult son after he saw mine. Also wears it a lot. Now, if only they made a model with drawstrings at the hood ...
Good fit and comfortable, but not durable.
I bought this hoodie this summer on a visit up in the mountains. Within a couple times wearing the item, the cuff around the sleeve detached and the stitching connecting the cuff to the sleeves came undone on both sleeves. I had to return the item.
The best jacket that I ever had
Love this product. Best jacket in the market. Forget about other brands
Sharp looking and functional
Wore the blue/apex jacket over a base layer on cool nights around the campfire, about 50 degrees. It’s soft and warm, and just right fit on the wrists and hood. Great fleece!
