Bought this for my husband for Christmas and he's been wearing it constantly. He says it's incredibly comfortable and warm without being bulky.
The fabric texture is nice, and it feels like it would be warm enough. However, I found the length of the jacket in an XL to be a little shorter than I prefer, especially when reaching up. It would be better if it had a bit more coverage.
This jacket has quickly become my favorite for brisk morning runs and casual hikes. The recycled polyester blend feels durable and the grid back fleece really does make a difference in wicking moisture and keeping me comfortable. The slim fit also means no extra fabric getting in the way.
I found the recycled polyester blend a bit rough against the skin compared to other fleeces.
