My everyday favorite mid-layer - mostly for value and comfort. I reach for one of these about 8 months out of the year. Mine is put together pretty well and seems durable enough. I haven't suffered any weak stitching or had anything unravel after 5 months of regular, everyday use.
I wouldn't go so far as call it rugged, but I haven't broken it yet.
I wouldn't call it windproof exactly, but it will easily ward off a chill whenever added to a T-shirt..
The fleece material is soft, comfortable and quiet, as you would expect. This isn't that thick, USGI fleece - this is more the thinner variety that works fairly well as a mid-layer.
Large inside pockets, on each side of the front - about 11.5" tall and 7.5" wide. Pretty roomy for anything light and flat, like a map or mail. There's a 3" hole sewn into these inside pockets - just large enough for your sunglasses to slip right out without you feeling or hearing them leave your pocket..
These are easy on, easy off, stashes nearly anywhere, and easily replaced if destroyed.
I favor the earth tones, but the variety available makes them easy to match with just about anything.
Inexpensive and versatile enough to keep stashed away in the vehicle for emergencies or whatever.
I find it to be about as indispensable as a woobie - almost..
A hood would be a great additional feature to have, but I like the idea of both and I would probably want to have both..
