Fabric: Polartec Fleece
Price Paid: $160

A sweet fleece, but not really a "jacket" per se. This is a mid-weight fleece with a light wind protective coating, but us is not an all out wind fleece. This is why I love this fleece; it is not a heavy, bulky wind fleece, but it is also not just a plain traditional fleece.

The protective coating does three great things...1) keeps some wind out (not all) that normally cuts through plain fleece...2) sheds light amount of rain (LIGHT amount...don't buy this if you are after a Gore-tex coat only to complain about it later)....3) this coating prevents balling (or piling) of the fleece.

These three things in an article of outerwear that has almost the same weight and feel of a plain fleece! Love this thing.

One other good thing is that this coat is not marred by big logos. Arc'teryx's name actually does not appear on the fleece...the fossil logo does (on right arm), but compared to most the stuff out there, the logos on this thing are really tame. I wish more companies would do that.
