"First, this is a great fleece. Just bought it on sale at the SF Orvis store. It is incredibly warm - great for winter but probably too warm for spring/autumn use.
My suggestions:
1) Put pit zippers in it - would make it easier to use/wear in slightly warmer weather and also exhaust heat/dampness when exerting oneself
2) Sleeves could have a velcro cuff.
2) Sleeves could have a velcro cuff.
Except for that, great. Material is light, warm and windproof."

"After considering many different fleece jackets I purchased the Orvis Windproof for its quality and comfort. Unfortunately, i quickly discovered that the toggles do not hold to cinch the bottom of the jacket which is very important to making this a warm jacket in windy cold weather. I went back to the store in Royal Oak Michigan to replace it only to find all of the jackets on this jacket model have the same very cheap toggles that don't hold. I have several other Orvis jackets that have great toggles. Why they are using such cheap toggles on a $169 heavy fleece makes no sense."
Response from Orvis:By Orvis Customer Service Team, November 9, 2010
Orvis Customer Service contacted this customer and apologized that the Windproof Fleece Jacket toggles did not meet expectations and offered a full refund or an exchange. Our goal is to make sure it is absolutely right. You can always shop with confidence at Orvis—everything we sell is backed by our unconditional 100% satisfaction guarantee.

ONE JACKET OPTION,

By: MBOB
from FLAGSTAFF
"With one light shirt under this jacket, that is all you need. Went for a walk with this jacket when it came at 23 degrees (and snowing) and it was almost too hot! This is the only jack you will need for hiking on cold or windy mornings."

"Visited Montana in the early spring and purchased this garment as part of my layering options. Fortunately no rain or snow and this fleece was pretty much all I needed over my waders.
Also, I wore it as a jacket during non-fishing hours and it was the perfect weight for the cool mornings/evenings. I'll be wearing this fleece for a lot more than just fishing."

"This is a great product. I own a lot of Orvis fishing gear and clothing, and as far as the clothes go, this is the best product I've ever purchased from Orvis. The fleece is very warm, and the pockets are very handy. I've worn this jacket on three continents in all manners of weather, and it has performed well, whether steelhead fishing in WI, trout fishing in England, or just running around in Central Asia. The construction and material is excellent! I even bought one for each of my brothers in the military, and they both loved them. A great product!"

"I've had it for several months now and it seems to work like it should - for a light jacket.
I do have a several complaints; (1) you have to pull the zippers up to close which is not functional in ordinary daily use, (2) the interior is left exposed to unattractive cuts and stitching and (3) it is expensive.
I don't agree that it will keep you warm in -50 degree weather as previously stated. However, I'm not a big person, so I do get cold easily. I use it as a second liner under another semi-light jacket.
As for the positives such as appearance, I won't comment on it much since it's subjective to my opinion, but I like it."

"Great jacket, fitting well and looking great and I might add very functional. However, after only one week the draw strings around the bottom of the jacket came undone and were left hanging. Unfortunatlly as I write this I am getting ready to return this jacket to Orvis. POOR WORKMANSHIP!"

Orvis contacted this customer and let him know we were disappointed to hear that the jacket didn't perform as expected. We offered to exchange or refund the item. We appreciate all feedback from our customers. Customer Service also passed these comments on to our product developer for possible future improvements to this item.

"Exceptional jacket (and matching vest -- I own both). I can not fault either the quality or the performance. Moss is the best color for outdoor wear. The only criticism I could make is that the lower section of the raglan sleeves on the jacket are a snug fit for shorter, stocky wearers. I solved that by shortening the sleeves. Great pockets in either jacket or vest. A number of non-anglers etc have asked me where I got them.

"Just received it today. The features seem to be just about there. Pockets seem good and the adjustable tension waist drawcord strings seem good. At 5-11, the length might just be a tad short in the sense that is just right. Perhaps an inch or two longer.
Ready to get out into the cold and put it to use."

"This jacket is great for everyday wear especially if everyday wear means everyday fishing. Acts as a great shell to keep the wind out and keep you warm all day. Perfect amount of room to layer up underneath for colder days without feeling baggy or bulky when wearing only a t shirt underneath. Very comfortable for all day casting as well. Totally Satisfied, kept me warm in the middle of a lake in a canoe with winter winds whipping all day. I recommend the moss color, makes a great camo when I'm sneaking around crystal clear smallmouth creeks (and yes camo can make a significant difference in that setting)."

"I looked everywhere for a windproof fleece that was not a form fitting Underarmor style. I just wanted a roomy windproof fleece for cold days on the boat and I did't want to have to wear a shell over a regular fleece. This jacket turned out to be all I wanted and more. Its great for all around wear, it keeps spray from soaking in, the wind is no longer a factor even running @ speed on cold mornings. The handwarmer pockets are in a perfect spot when wearing this fleece with Grundens or other bibs or waders. Well worth the money!"

"In the week leading up to Christmas, the local temperatures had plummeted. Day-time highs have been around -45 (ambient) lately, and no matter how you look at it, that is unpleasant. So when I opened this fleece tha my wife had gotten for me I quickly threw it on and stepped outside to see how it performed. Now, my other jackets have vacated my coat rack because I only need one. The quality is great, it looks great, feels great. It can't be beat. Keeps me warm at -40 to -50 so what more can you ask?"

My favorite jacket!,
December 4, 2008
By: NHBrookTroutGuy
from Hanover, NH
"I am really pleased with this jacket, as it does everything that I need a lightweight jacket to do and it does it better than any other jacket that I own. It is warm, wind-proof, lightweight, and not bulky. I wore it for several days while hunting high in the Rocky Mountains, near Durango CO, and never got cold, despite frequent single digit windchills. The other 4 hunters in camp had a variety of outer gear, both wool and synthetic, but none combined the warmth and lack of bulk that this jacket offers. All 4 guys told me that they were going to order 1 of these jackets as soon as they got warm, clean, and access to the internet.
The only 2 changes that I would like to see are:
1. For Orvis to offer this jacket in smaller sizes, so I could buy them for my kids!
2. For Orvis to offer this jacket in a blaze-orange camo pattern, so that I could wear it without a vest over it while deer hunting."

Not your typical fleece-,
September 16, 2008
By: Crockett
from Knoxville, Tennessee
"I use fleece for layering often, and have shopped for a quality piece for sometime which would stand up to outdoor activity. This is the one.
The weight is more substantial as is the performance, but it is not bulky and has the added benefit of wind and water resistance. Layered under a wading jacket, it is good to go in all but the harshest weather conditions.
This piece of fleece is great for fly fishing with waders, but certainly is not lmited to that purpose in my wardrobe as it finds use from walking the dog to a run to the store as well as more rugged cool weather use on the mountain trails."
