Övik Fleece Zip Jacket

I was looking for a light fleece jacket with pockets and zipper for milder days. I did not know much about this brand, and I went ahead and ordered size Small. Consider sizing down by one size even if you are planning to layer it. Elbow patches add a nice detail to this unique jacket. Jacket arrived directly pristine from the factory no chemical smells or perfume whatsoever. I highly recommend this jacket.

This is such a gorgeous sweater and is really warm. I wore it by itself over a regular short sleeved shirt in 4 degree weather (I think that would be around 40 in Fahrenheit) and was perfectly comfortable. It's so flattering and I get complements on it whenever I wear it. The colour choices are gorgeous, so far I have two and I definitely plan on buying more in the future. I saw one of the reviews mention an odour and I have not experienced that issue at all with either of my Övik Fleeces. Neither seems to retain any type of smell at all and have come out of the wash very nicely. I love everything about this sweater from the feel to the fit.

I thought I was buying a new garment at a local hiking store. I have always wanted a a Fjall Raven jacket. When I tried the garment on in the store it was fine. But when I got it home and wore it for the first time I noticed a very perfume-like smell, like a womens deodorant. I never wear this type of deodorant as I am allergic. Obviously someone had taken the jacket home, wore it and returned it to the store. I have tried 5 times per directions to wash it and the odor is still there - better but still there. THere is something in the garment blend that is not good for perspiring with strenuous activity which is what I got this for. I would not recommend this garment, especially at this price.
