“Loving this jacket depends on your needs”

“I was very nervous about buying this jacket, despite the great price, because of other reviewers that said it was bulky, ran small and tended to stick to whatever was warn underneath it. I've had this jacket for a few days now and don't think it's bulky at all. I've seen bulkier 3-in-1 jackets. The fleece is very warm and a lovely baby blue color. The outer layer feels durable, has lots of pockets, a removable hood and is a royal blue color. I have olive skin and find this jacket very flattering. It is also quite easy to carry around. The fleece hasn't stuck to anything I've worn under it yet, and both layers don't feel bulky when I wear them. Neither do they constrict my movements - on the contrary, I found both to be wonderfully thin in comparison to heavy-duty fleece jackets or other 3-in-1s (like the Marmot Cosset jacket I almost bought). When you buy this jacket you have to know what you are looking for: do you need a super-warm heavy-duty outer layer for trekking in almost-freezing temperatures? Don't get this jacket. Do you need a super-sporty jacket? Don't get this. Do you just need a good 2-piece set to keep you warm and dry on a hike, enabling you to shed layers as you go? Get this jacket. A note concerning size: I am 5'2, 110 lbs, usually wear shirts that are a European size 36-38 and the medium was a perfect fit for me.”
