This is a a really nice fleece, not too bulky. It's warm and it fits great. I normally wear a medium and I think it fits true to size. It's not windproof, but I think with a long sleeve underneath it would probably work on 50oF days. I used to be a patagonia girl, but their fit has changed so much in the past few seasons, that I think I will be wearing more Arcteryx from now on.

where's the extra small?
I love this fleece, and would like to order it in Niagara extra small, but it doesn't seem to be available. There's no place to sign up for an email if it ever comes in either like there usually is. It's a great lightwieght fleece that -as with most Arc'teryx items- it has a great, flattering fit, that's true to size.

Comfortable and stylish...
I just bought this one in the dark ember color for my wife and she likes it quite a lot. I totally agree with her that it has a great fit (even flattering she says by the way). The fabric is very comfortable. She will use it a lot everyday in the cooler hours, and especially now as the winter is over. This is not a jacket that will withstand strong and cold winter winds, etc. It's a cardigan that will give her that extra layer of warmth in all kinds of contexts and weather conditions outside the extremes.

Nice Lightweight Fleece
A soft, comfortable fit. It's definitely a lightweight fleece. The color (raisin) is darker than pictured. The only thing that bothers me is that the top of the zipper isn't protected with fabric, so the zipper rubs a little under the chin.

This is a versatile attractive fleece cardigan from Arc'teryx. It has all the high-quality finishing and touches we expect from Arc'teryx including banding and contrast stitching. What I particularly like is the dressier-look with the cardigan-like ribbing on this very light-weight fleece. I can wear it to the office with slacks and a blouse and it is a comfortable and good-looking alternative to casual office wear. It is equally at-home as work-out wear and it stretches and moves with you whether you're hiking, spinning or doing yoga. Arc'teryx is not a low-cost brand but the versatility of this piece makes it very high value for the money.
