The Fit: I am 6ft,165lb with broad shoulders, long arms and no gut. I wear a size MEDIUM like a sweater with only a Tshirt underneath. In MEDIUM it fits me with a trim fit and the sleeves are the right length for me. It fits me perfectly. To wear this as a jacket over thicker base layers I might need a size larger. The sleeves are attached at a sensible angle so it is possible to raise the arms freely and move freely, which is a very welcome feature, thank you Amazon!
The Material / Stretch: I have three colors: the red buffalo plaid, charcoal heather and navy blue. The charcoal heather and navy blue are a traditional fleece that has some normal stretch to it but is not a "stretch" fabric. The red plaid feels more like a felt that doesn't stretch very much. I like them all but the red plaid is a bit tight in the elbows at first but does eventually stretch to fit.
Warmth: It is a mid-weight fleece like advertised. I wear it indoors like a sweater.
Pockets: The inner wall of the pockets are constructed of the same fleece as the jacket, so that creates two layers of fleece in those areas, making the jacket feel thicker in that area but not bulky. I would prefer pockets made of a thinner mesh or fabric but that isn't a big issue. The extra fabric adds some warmth that some people will prefer. Pockets are deep and have zippers so are both warm and secure.
I've had these jackets for about 6 weeks and wear them frequently, sometimes with a vest over the top for additional warmth when needed. This is a nice item, no complaints so far.
