Fabric: double sided fleece with a windproof barrier
Price Paid: $75

Another great product in theory. I got a Large and realized the sleeves barely made it down to my wrists. I exchanged it for an XL and that was slightly better, but two inches shorter than a Large Tall by L.L. Bean.

The fleece was windproof. The internal pockets were exemplary, full mesh pockets from the shoulders down to the waist, accessed through the outside, side zippered pockets. An internal zippered pocket on one side and a drop in pocket on the other side, all the way down to the waist. The lack of a Tall product by Patagonia is what makes this product useless.

Both were returned.
