The fleece is good and warm, but the zippers SUCK! I bought two of these the last time woot had these on sale, Jan 8, 2015. 1x Men and 1x women, black, long sleeve. Every single time I’ve worn mine, one of the zippers has gotten caught in the material - both the main zipper and the pocket zippers… My wife had the same problem too, so I know mine is not a fluke. From tugging on the fabric to dislodge it from being caught in the left pocket zip, I think I’ve broken the zipper: it’s now misaligned and open both above and below the zip. My left pocket is now useless.
Bottom line: you get what you pay for. Fleece jackets like this go for $50-$70. These are dirt cheap because if they were on a shelf in a retail store, they would not sell: anybody trying them on would instantly run into the issues I’ve described and just hang them back up. 2.5 stars out of 5 at best, and that’s because the fleece really is good and warm - I was out with my snowblower for 90 minutes in 20oF and was comfortable… it’s very good fleece. Just the zipper issue is an example of a great product getting completely SNAFU’ed.
I guess if you buy it there, you’d waste $35 more than if you bought it here
Waste is a strong word… inappropriately so. At the end of the day, they are pretty good… just really frustrating. All I’m saying is set expectations to mitigate disappointment.
