Polartec 200 Hooded Jacket

Can't think of any good reason to omit zippers on side pockets other than to reduce costs. Raise your hand if you don't mind valuables or part of your kit being stashed in unsecured pockets. Hope OR will do better and add zips to next season's jacket...please.

WONDERFUL FLEECE JACKET! GREAT FIT, NOT TOO HEAVY NOT TOO LIGHT LOOKS GOOD IN ALL OCCASIONS AND CAN BE WORN AS AN OVER LAYER OR UNDER LAYER

Very warm! This hoodie is everything i imagined it would be perfect stitching, perfect thickness, sleeve cuffs are just the right amount of curve..not too much, just right. Everything about this hoodie is what every fleece should be. But........ It shoukd have the shoulders lined with the same fabric the chest and pockets are lines with and the pockets should have zips like the chest does. And id even oau more if it had those two things. Take note OR! Love ya guys✌️

I'm very impressed with this jacket! I've been a part of the fleece evolution at the factory level since 1980. In the early days, we had challenges with design and manufacturing. This garment checks all the boxes for me! Specifically, all the seams are topstitched flat which checks the comfort box. The bottom hem is wide enough to control the inherent nature of fleece to roll when sewn. The wide strip of material sewn around the hood opening gives shape and control to what can be a problem area. The elastic around the cuff eliminates the rolling and reduces bulk when worn inside a shell garment. The wide fabric welt on the pockets will keep them flat. This is a really well thought out jacket!

Perfect for around town or as a mid layer for outdoor adventures. Only reason not 5 stars is I would have preferred zip up side pockets.
