Spyder Explorer II Fleece Jacket (For Men)

Worn casually to keep of the chill, it works perfect. Not very functional as active apparel. I'll stick with my North Face Apex for that. Stylish though, and seems to fit a little large. I'm 6'4" and roughly 210lbs and the XL seems a little big. Definitely enough room to layer underneath.

Great fit and very versatile, but VERY POOR textile quality - wears out in only one week even without washing.

comfy, just a little long on the sleeves

Bought because I wanted a fleece, but was dissapointed when received because it is a heavy sweatshirt. Pros are that it is a very nice color, but will return because it was not labeled right and want a fleece jacket.

Overall this is a good jacket. It could use a better cut to it, though.

First of all, the Spyder Explorer II is NOT a fleece jacket in spite of being listed as one here and elsewhere. I already knew this from trying one on in a retail store so it isn't a problem. It is 100% polyester, but it is smooth faced on both sides..no fuzzy stuff except for the pockets. Even though this jacket has some technical features such as zippered pockets, hem cinch cord, adjustable hood etc.. it is really for casual use more than anything. The cuffs have no velcro or elastic and are very open and wide which is good for everyday use during cool weather since it makes the jacket easy to get on and off. The style is great and the fit is very relaxed. If you're looking for a jacket that you can wear every day that does a decent job keeping you protected from the elements, (and you love Spyder gear) then this is your hoodie.

Nice Hoody- a bit over priced - cost me 2 days pay I expected higher quality
