"This is a very comfortable and warm Midlayer with a lot of breathability; it is very snug and pretty tight, though. I do wear small shirts and am very skinny, but it fits perfectly on me, but may be a little smaller or tighter on bigger people. Over all its a great sweater and I'm loving it so far."
"With the SF Bay Area winter weather upon us, I've been using this as and added layer over my Vigor hoodie on cooler, brisker days."
"Great fleece, paired with a base layer and a shell, this fleece kept me toasty in the central cascades over Christmas"
"Elegante, me gusto, realmente esperaba menos, muchas veces te entregan algo diferente a lo que ves en pantalla, pero esto, esta genial."
"Super warm and comfy (tight slim fit)"
"I wear this for work over my scrubs. Perfect jacket that’s not too heavy, but just warm enough (without being hot) for busy nights in the ER. I have two and I can’t recommend them enough!"
"It fits perfect, it’s not that tight as other BD jackets. I’m 172 cm and 75 kg"
"Better than advertised. Fit is right on and color is better than the picture. Black Diamond does it again ."
