Icebreaker RealFleece 260 Sierra Jacket- Merino Wool, Full Zip (For Men)
Discontinued. Icebreaker's RealFleece 260 Sierra jacket is a midweight base layer that amazes with its versatility. Moisture-wicking merino wool with a brushed interior is soft enough to wear against bare skin and also ideal for layering under a shell in cold temps.

Reviewed by pjones1951@aol.com from Virginia on Friday, March 29, 2013Size up! 6' and 185lbs and large is tight in the torso and chest. Returned and did not have an xl in color I wanted. Nice material. I hope one day I can extol the virtues of an Ibex mid layer.

Reviewed by Alyse Michelle from Fairbanks, Alaska on Sunday, March 17, 2013I ordered a men's small, as I like a longer length than women's products tend to have, and I love it. The fit is great, the green color fantastic, the pockets are convenient, and best of all after 6 days of backcountry skiing there is no stink whatsoever.

Reviewed by Wool lover from Central PA on Monday, February 25, 2013The only reason I don't give this five stars is because Icebreaker sizing is small by one size, by most American and Euro standards. Needless to say, I own four of these, one in hoodie, and in diff colors. I LOVE these sweater jackets. Don't dryclean. Use lanolin rinse at lukewarm temps and your Icebreakers will last for years.

Reviewed by MV from NJ on Sunday, February 24, 2013I love this realfleece. It is super comfortable and toasty warm. Windproof enough for under 5-10 mph winds. Layers well. Nice pockets. Zipper tabs are nice heavy duty, wide metal with a little rubber for glove traction. These zipper tabs are not going to break on you! As others have noted, it zips on the "wrong side" for US standard, but that's a minor thing. I wear large in most other skiwear companies sizes, but I went with the XL as icebreakers tend to not be "vanity sized". There's enough room for me to layer this over a normal outfit and wear it as a jacket but close fitting enough to just go over a wool light baselayer for skiing without bulk. I'm 5'9, 190 lbs.

Reviewed by outdooraussie from pacific northwest on Tuesday, February 19, 2013I am an average size 5'10" female (I bought the medium which fits perfectly) who wants something for walking the dog and casual wear. This is a mid-weight jacket, good enough to wear to work or out casually as well. I have two!! Keeps me warm but not too much. Love it.

Reviewed by SDRob from San Diego, CA on Monday, February 04, 2013I own several wool tops from Icebreaker, Ibex and Smartwool. This one is my favorite. Fit is great. I'm 6'0", 205 lbs, 35" sleeves and the XL is perfect. Works as a warm sweater when zipped up and the full zip let you regulate if things warm up.

Reviewed by Jake in PA from York, PA on Tuesday, January 29, 2013First Icebreaker purchase. Really impressed with style and quality of this jacket. I was thrown off with the left-hand zipper until a friend explained that it was a european standard....thought STP had sent a woman's jacket. At 6' and thinner, I have a hard time finding clothing with longer enough sleeves without drowning me in excess torso space. This jacket fits perfect; sleeves fit and no excess width in body. Was hoping it would be a little heavier, but will work perfect for its intended mid-layer use.

Reviewed by Jason_ROK from Korea on Monday, January 28, 2013Stylish mid-weight soft jacket that can be used as outer layer at moderate temps (32F and above). Great quality and fit. Stretchy athletic fit, but not a slim euro fit. Perfect. Well worth the money, and this item can be had for well below $100, with STP discounts.

Reviewed by PDXCHICK from Portland, OR on Thursday, January 17, 2013Icebreaker seems to be VERY hit and miss as far as sizing goes. I am a women who normaly wears a size 16 and the Icebreaker mens LG or XLG fits only one out of eight to ten goes. Order several sizes and be prepaired to return some.

Reviewed by marcie from Colorado on Monday, January 07, 2013The medium is a perfect fit for a 5'11" 155 pound active young male. It is so nice to see him wear real wool in the winter and not polyester or cotton!

Reviewed by marcie from Colorado on Monday, January 07, 2013My 5'11" 155 lb college student wears this in a size medium instead of one of his cotton hoodies. It is very stylish. The fit is perfect for an adult and is not vanity sizing. So nice to see my kid staying warm in a quality, soft, tight-knit merino wool instead of freezing in polyester or cotton.

Reviewed by WelcomedRain from Torrington, CT on Friday, January 04, 2013I bought this light jacket for one reason... to work out. I have a base layer already for my workouts in the cold and have been totally impressed with the fact that it never stinks; no matter how many days in a row I use it. The outer layer, however, is a blend and one or two days and it REALLY stinks. So I bought this jacket to use as an outer layer when I'm working out. I haven't used it yet but if it works like all my other Icebreaker shirts/sweaters/layers... as I expect it will... I'll be very happy.

Reviewed by Jess from Ithaca, NY on Thursday, January 03, 2013I bought this product for my boyfriend for Christmas. It is a snug fit, but the material is stretchy so it is still comfortable. He uses it as a base layer and loves that it is so warm!

Reviewed by Eddie from Sarasota, FL on Friday, December 21, 2012I prefer wool garments over Polarfleece for their breathability. This 'Realfleece 260' will not replace a thick fleece but looks much better and is more versatile when you use it with other layers. When the weather is not so cold you will be able to wear this much more often than polarfleece. The shape, construction and detailing are up to Icebreaker's high standards. It looks good for casual wear. The shape looks like it's designed for Icebreaker models in that it has a broad chest compared to a narrowish waist. But the material has some stretch so you don't have to conform exactly to the ideal male form. My suit chest size is 38/39 so I selected a Medium size Icebreaker even though I'm sometimes a 'Large' in other brands. Medium fits me nicely. If you are at the upper limit of their suggested measurement range for Medium, or if you expect to wear something thicker than a shirt underneath, you may want to consider going up a size.

Reviewed by Somewhat Disappointed from Aspen, CO on Wednesday, December 19, 2012This may be nitpicky, but I think it's inaccurate to call this a jacket. I should have paid closer attention to the photo. Yes, it's thicker than general-use base layers, but it's almost as tight. For the price I'd want to be able to wear this more often. Sure, you want extra warmth and wicking for active outdoor activities, but it's so snug I personally wouldn't wear it as a jacket in a day-to-day on the street situation. Still,it IS Icebreaker, and well made for hiking/climbing activities.

Reviewed by Kilo Kilo from Frederick MD on Tuesday, December 18, 2012Loved this wool jacket. I am 6 feet tall, 195lbs, with broad shoulder, and the xl fit good, with an athletic cut, very trim. Holds the heat in well. I used it for hiking as a mid layer, in 20 to 30 degree temps, and it did good, but was a bit warm going up mountains. I ultimately returned it because it started to pill very easily. If you aren't using to harshly it may last for you...
