Columbia Sportswear Thermarator Omni-Heat® Fleece Jacket (For Big and Tall Men)

Finally, I bought a gift that fits my 6'6" son. He loves the jacket. Has a metallic/silvery lining like a space blanket. This was off-putting at first, but does not seem to feel cool or clammy. Since it is now winter in Northern NH, he is mainly using it to stay cozy inside, but I suspect it will be his new favorite for spring and fall dry conditions.

Tall size a good fit

I like the omni-heat idea and I own several omni-heat items but unless my physics memories fail me aluminum is also a good conductor of cold. This fleece could benifit from a membrane or some type of bonded wind screen to this fabric. Yes omni-heat does reflect heat back but when the wind cuts trhough the fabric all the little dots become conductors of cold and stop reflecting heat. I wore this on a very windy day in Chicago it was about 39 degrees and every time the wind gusted, it cut right through the fleece the dots would actualy become uncomfortably cold. This is a nice insulating layer or a outlayer in mild conditions. The fit was good and the workmanship was excelent qaulity the fit was a little athletic
