Northcoast Fleece Half Zip Hoodie

This is the first time I have not given Free Fly a 5 start review. I've been a fan for years and always love the items I have purchased. I was hesitant to purchase the Northcoast Fleece Anorak because it was cropped but decided to give it a try because I had a gift card. It didn't look too short on the model photos, but I was wrong! If you like the crop style then I'm sure you won't mind it, but it's not my thing (really cropped short at the waist). I really wish this top was a little bit longer because otherwise it's great--super comfortable, warm, nice zippers and color. Free Fly please make an updated (non-cropped) version in the future!

This anorak is incredibly soft and cozy—exactly what I want to throw on after an outdoor adventure to stay warm and comfortable. It’s a great layering piece without feeling bulky. The length is on the shorter side, but I wouldn’t call it cropped; it still feels flattering and wearable. And the Sea Pine color is absolute perfection in person.For sizing reference, I’m traditionally a medium in tops in most brands, but I typically wear a large in Free Fly tops. I purchased a large in this and the fit is just right—comfortable and easy to layer.

I love this new line of heavier fleece that Free Fly has introduced. It’s just as soft as the lightweight lineup, but it has more bulk and is definitely warmer. I took this up north above the arctic circle to chase the northern lights, and it was the perfect base layer. Super soft against my skin, and warm enough that when I had the hood pulled over my hat, my head and neck stayed super toasty. I also love the slightly cropped look, it’s just so cute and makes me feel cute under all the layers! Love the zippers on the kangaroo pocket as well, I kept my phone in there while riding a snow mobile, and because of the zippers, I was never worried about it falling out. The sizing is great too, I got a size S, and I’m 5’4” and ~140lbs. I’m short-waisted, so the cropped look gives me the illusion of being a bit taller than I really am! Overall, highly recommend this style, and the colors are so lovely! Definitely ordering more!
