Review:
This hooded Fleece Jacket is perfect for the Australian Winter and I have used it in multiple colder seasons, sometimes even on a daily basis around town. Its super comfortable and despite the relatively thin layer, it provides really good warmth due to the fine fleece on the inner side of the jacket. The outer shell is fairly windproof but is not water repellent or resistant.
Pros:
- Warm and good protection from wind, despite the jacket not being overly thick and heavy.
- Can be closed all the way up to protect your neck from cold wind.
- The hood is nice on extra cold days.
Cons:
- No water repellency or resistance.
- Hood is not detachable.
Comment:
Overall really happy with this jacket, provides warmth and protection from the elements as long as its not heavily raining. Note that Kathmandu seems to no longer make this exact jacket, however similar jackets are on offer.
