ExOfficio Consolo Jacket - Fleece-Wool, Full Zip (For Men)

This is an awesome jacket. I was originally look for a warm fleece that I could wear late into the fall and then start wearing again late winter/early spring and a jacket that simultaneously looked professional enough for commuting to work and yet be durable enough for hiking and other outdoor activities. After owning it for a little over a year now, the jacket is definitely very warm and I really like the wool blend as it was comfortable, lightweight/good range of motion, and yet it provided adequate protection/blocking on cold, windy days. Additionally, it has a great pocket layout, 2 side, a chest pocket and an interior pocket. However, I was rather disappointed when I pulled it out this spring and found that the zipper lining on one of the sides had come undone (a little difficult to explain but if you own the jacket, I'm sure you can know the seal that I'm talking about). Anyway, the pocket is basically useless unless I can get it repaired and looking at it, it does look like a somewhat poor design out of the package. That said, it is a great jacket - I don't doubt any of the other reviews and I have even considered getting a second one just as a backup. It is easily the best fleece I've owned.

This quickly became my husband's favorite Christmas present. As soon as he opened the package he loved this jacket. I bought the grey and it is classy as much as it is warm. Gorgeous texture and style. He loves it!

This is really a nice looking jacket. It's a deep rich black color, unlike other blacks that even new, appear faded somehow. Looks great with jeans but also dressy enough for nightlife. My husband loves the pockets and warmth and wears it even on 30 degree mornings. He is tall in his back with broad 44 shoulders/38 waist so length fit is often a problem. This was perfect in the XL without making him look boxy. We also have the grey and it's a favorite too.

This is a good looking jacket that fits true to size and appears well built. There is plenty of pocket room and is fairly warm for a light weight jacket. I rode my motor cycle the other day with it did a decent job of blocking the wind. If you're going to be out in cold windy weather you'll need a shell.

This jacket is a bit nicer than the run of the mill fleece jacket. I am 6'0 and 170 and a medium fits well with light sweaters underneath. If you are going to wear it with bulky layers then I would go to your true size. I gave it 4 stars because the material is just a bit scratchy compared to my other fleece jackets but that is because of the wool blend. The inside pockets are a nice feature. it is very well made. A bit dressier than the average jacket.
