A good fleece jacket
I ordered this jacket and a pair of gloves. Parcel arrived today. Before I opened it I thought the jacket must be extremely light. But the parcel only contained the gloves, what a waste of a large cardboard box for a small pair of very light merino gloves. If I ever receive my jacket I will redo this review.
Finally the jacket arrived. This time the box came with with a cover note and return instructions. I ordered large instead of XL because one of the reviews here advised going down at least 1 size. Good advice. I like the fleece. Will update this review after wearing it a few times in the mountains. It is very loose around the neck and the hood is too big. That is the only complaint. Sleeves are perfect length. Jacket is a bit longer than average but I like that.

Strange size
The jacket is nice, it feels cozy and warm, but to "baggy", the size is very strange. I am 174 cm tall, weigh 72 kg, and have a proportional build. The size M is more like a L/XL on my body. I have Red Chili - Elki Zip Hoody, also M (unisex), and it fits perfectly.
