I buy one of these every year during fall. I wear it almost every day around the house when it is cold. This fleece is soft, comfortable, and fits well. I am 6ft tall and weigh about 190lbs and the large is perfect for me. I like that Columbia has so many choices of color and style. I am on my 4th one since 2006, and each one has been great. I wear them for a year or two and then donate them and get a new one. They don't wear out. I just want a newer fresher look. This type of fleece will keep you warm when it's in the 50's outside, as long as it's not too windy. It does not stop wind. It will not really keep you warm if it is in the 30's or 40's for an extended amount of time. This is OK for me since I live in Atlanta. Great buy for a fairly low price that I highly recommend!
