Love the softness and the huge pockets inside. Lightweight but warm. Great as a jacket.
I was looking for a lightweight jacket that would work for the cool weather of Spring and Fall. I am 5’2″ and usually wear an X-Small or Small in a t-shirt depending on the brand. In most jeans, I wear a size 1. I really liked the burgundy color in this jacket, so I ordered a size small.Although the small fit, I didn’t think it would work as a jacket – a bit too fitted for that purpose. So, I decided to order this jacket in a medium. The replacement fit more like a jacket, which is what I wanted. I returned the size small and kept the medium. I have decided to buy a couple more of these in different colors. The pictures are me in the size medium. When choosing size to buy, there are a couple of things to consider. If you plan to wear it as a light jacket over a t-shirt, your normal size will work fine – especially if you plan to leave it unzipped. The sleeves are not snug at all, and fit comfortably. The 2 inside pockets are large enough to carry a cell phone, a small tablet, a checkbook, or a wallet. If you plant to wear this as a jacket and especially if you plan to keep anything in the inside pockets while zipped, it would be a good idea to order one size up. Anything in the pockets will show bulges on the outside if you order your normal size and zip the jacket.So, what do I love about this jacket?1) Very soft and lightweight, yet warm.2) Can be worn as a jacket or inside in the winter when the house is cool.3) Has zippered pockets on the outside large enough to keep a wallet or small essentials.4) Has deep pockets on the inside of each side to carry a phone or other larger things you take with you.5) It has a hood that can be used to protect you from wind and weather, but it is not so thick that it gets in the way if you have long hair as some hoods do.UPDATE 01/08/22:I like this jacket so much, I put one in charcoal heather on my Christmas wish list. My husband bought it for me for Christmas. The actual color of this jacket I would describe as a medium grey, and I like as much as the burgundy one I bought. So, now I have two of them.In conclusion, I would definitely recommend this jacket. I hope this review was helpful for you. I will update it if my opinion changes.

Really nice product
Used these for embroidered awards and they were perfect. The quality was really good. They are so soft.

Lightweight!
If you are looking for a fleece comparable to Columbia, this is not it. It’s lightweight. I do like it i was just expecting a little more warmth from it. I ordered a Medium & I have an athletic build & it fits well. Sleeves could be a little longer but overall it’s a good light fleece for the price.

First Amazon Essentials Purchase
This is my first Amazon Essentials purchase. I didn’t have high expectations, but am so far very impressed. I admittedly haven’t yet worn the jacket, but I just tried it on after it was delivered, and the fit is great. Pre-pandemic I would’ve bought a medium, but got a large to accommodate my pandemic pounds. There’s a little extra room for me to wear something bulkier underneath. The sleeves are nice and long. The hood is generous…not snug-fitting. It’s super soft and cozy, and seems like it’ll be nice and warm! Someone else said it wasn’t soft, but I immediately though it was very soft. Maybe there’s a difference in the fabric depending on the color you order. I got the purple, which I’d describe more as magenta. I love the color, but just be aware if you’re looking for a true purple, that’s not what it is.

Great LIGHT fleece jacket
I love this jacket. I’ve worn it most days since it arrived. It’s soft and cozy. I wouldn’t describe it as “Polar” fleece. You need to go higher end for that. This one is great to wear around inside on a cold day. The sky blue color is lovely. It’s true to size. No need to size up here. It’s form fitted but not tight like my North Face jackets. I bought this with a Columbia fleece. I’m thinking of returning the Columbia for a second one of these. The Columbia is too warm to wear a lot here in Florida.

Flattering and comfortable
Very happy with this purchase and the price was spot on. Lightweight sweatshirt comes in attractive colors and is flattering to the female body. Love that the pocket is on the side instead of big pocket pouches in the front. Hood is a tad too big when on the head but you can roll it up a bit. I plan to buy more in different colors now that I have one.

Nice looking. A little stiff material. Refund very slow.
It is a decent looking fleece jacket, the light blue color is very pretty. I also like having a hood to block cold wind. Somehow the material is a little stiff to me that I need to pull tidying up from time to time, so I had to return it. Please note that it takes loooong time to get redound, I returned it about a month ago but still haven’t received refund, which made feel nervous to buy from this seller again.

Nice Fitting Polar Fleece and Made Well
I’m very pleased with this polar fleece jacket. It seems very well made with smooth seams and the fit is very flattering. I got it for walking in colder temperatures and wanted a hood if needed to keep my head and ears warm, but it was very hard to find a full-zip, polar fleece jacket with a hood. The hood also comes in handy if it starts to drizzle. This jacket’s polar fleece is nice and tight density, so I think it will wash well, but it isn’t so dense that it will be too hot to wear when temperatures climb into the upper 50’s. The price was great too, less than 1/2 the price of another polar fleece jacket I was considering.

Flimsy fabric, runs small
Love the idea of an ivory hooded fleece jacket with zip pockets. Several issues. The fabric is so thin that any weight in the pockets drags the jacket down, and I’m afraid it will tear too easily. I also found the fit to be too snug; I typically wear a large in LLBean, which is plenty roomy and allows me to wear a long sleeve shirt underneath – couldn’t do that with this jacket.

Well made, flattering fit …
… but returned as it was too small. More of an athletic fit, I would say. Would have ordered next size up, but fabric was a bit thinner than I was hoping for.

so soft, with just the right amount of contouring
I wouldn’t call this jacket fitted exactly but it isn’t like those square ones. Its slightly contoured to flatter the body. Its very soft and I love it. Just wish Amazon would get more colors for size Large. Please!

looks and fits great
I like that this jacket does not have ribbed cuffs and ribbing around the bottom. Ribbing is always the first thing to start looking bad. I also like that the slide in pockets have zippers, and there are inside pockets large enough for a smartphone and other things on both sides. The hood does not have a draw string, but fits close enough that I don’t think I will miss that. I only used it when it was real windy.Great jacket for the price. Love it!!

Lovely value
Beautiful color & fabric. I’m 5’8″/ 36C bust /30″ waist /138 lbs. I typically wear size medium in most tops & size 6 shorts & slacks. This jacket was uncomfortably tight in the arms & chest when worn over a thin, long sleeved t-shirt. Other than that, it has a flattering cut & 2 front zip pockets, perfect for chilly hands. I will exchange for size large & hope the sleeves are more generous. Bought same jacket for my 89 yr-old mom in size XL (She is a 16-18). She loves it & says it fits her perfectly.

Great for travel
I love to travel and I’m always looking for the “perfect” travel clothes. I’ve been looking for a fleece hooded jacket with zippered pockets. This one is perfect. It even has two interior pockets. Bonus! The princess seams are very flattering. It’s not boxy. I usually wear an XL, and the XL is snug. Fits fine with a t shirt under, but if I wanted to layer on top of a sweater, the sleeves would probably be too tight. It’s lightweight but warm. The perfect fleece for wearing on a plane, or layering under a raincoat.

Can be hard to pull on over other garments. May need to size up if you want it to layer.

Looks great after numerous washings
This is a comfortable jacket that looks great after multiple washings. It holds its shape. The fit is what you would expect. Looks good around the house, or going out casually. I love it so much that I have multiple colors.

Thin and low quality
I have the other essentials fleece without a hood, that one is much thicker than this one. The material for this is really thin and low quality but I wanted a hood. I do like how it’s long enough, I’m slim (5’5 120lbs) and have trouble finding shirts that are always too wide or too short and not long enough.

Work from home jacket
I was looking for a very light weight fleece jacket to wear in the house for work. From the picture this one seemed light. It is heavier than the picture, but will work. I do wish it were longer to cover my butt.

Perfect hooded jacket
Purchased this to travel overseas in the summer. I wanted something thin but warm and this fits the bill. I wore this all the time in the evening when it was the coldest and I was always warm. Worth the purchase!

Fleece jacket with a hood and inside pockets!
I have been looking for a fleece jacket with a hood and inside pockets. They are hard to find. I have several Amazon essentials clothing items and really like the quality so I gave this one a try. I ordered medium even though I usually wear a small in this brand because I wanted to wear sweaters underneath. I’m so glad I did. The medium is perfect! For reference, I am 5’2″, 120 lbs, 34C.

Typical Fleece
Not outstanding, but definitely a good fleece to buy if you are looking for a reliable one. I wear mine to work in a grocery and it helps me keep warm around all the freezers and fridges.

A very nice hoodie, but runs a bit small
Have just received it, in Ecuador, where it is a winter time 🙂 Lightweight, looks well made. A bit small, to my liking. It fits, but too close fit for M. Will add to my review when it has been washed and warn 🙂

Great value
I have owned very many fleece jackets over the years and decided to try one of these as I liked the style, zipper pockets, pretty colors and the low price! After trying out the first one, I ordered 2 more in different colors and haven’t been disappointed. I have owned them for a few months now and were washed after arriving and seem to hold up well so far.

Perfect fleece jacket for the fall
I am 5′ 6″, medium weight. I was looking for a mid-weight fleece jacket for going on long walks and shopping in the fall months. It is a perfect fit and weight, including being comfortable wearing over a long-sleeved t-shirt. It is just the right length (hip length) and arm length. The color is very satisfactory (soft blue, not too bright). I would recommend this jacket.

Lightweight, comfy, but order a size up
I bought this for a recent vacation, wanting a light jacket I could throw in a bag. I ended up wearing it every day. It’s very soft, comfortable, and lightweight. The pockets (inside and zippered outside) were very handy while traveling! I could zip my phone inside and not worry about losing it. I’m a size 12-14 in most clothes, and generally can wear a large in jackets, but I preferred the XL in this one, especially if wearing over a long sleeve shirt.

Very nice!
I bought the cranberry color and it’s very rich looking. Comfortable and mostly for fall (in that color). The sleeves fit a little skinny for my taste so you can only wear one top under it. It has inside pockets which I’ve rarely seen in women’s jackets, and appreciate. Haven’t tried washing it yet so hope that’s good too.

So cozy!
I loved this so much I ordered it again after getting a bleach stain on it at work. It’s so comfortable and cozy, the color stays bright (I wash in cold water using woolite or other color protecting detergent and usually I just hang it to dry rather than use a dryer), and the fit is flattering. The pockets zip, too. The first one I’ve had for over a year and the color hasn’t faded at all (except for the small bleach stain). There’s no pilling, either. Highly recommend!

Great value
This is a lightweight fleece. Great price, fits well, I like that it has a hood. I am 5’6″ and 170 pounds and normally wear medium-sized shirts; I bought a medium and it fits the way I wanted it to, a little snug but looks slimming. If I wanted to be able to layer it over a sweatshirt, I would have needed to buy a large, but medium is perfect for throwing over a long sleeved shirt/t-shirt.

Great Buy
Love this jacket. When I ordered it for this price I thought what kind of quality will it be, but as I got it to mostly wear around the house I figured it would be good enough. I was very pleasantly surprised at the quality. Th fabric is very nice, the trim and finishing work is perfect. I might add that I’m a pretty good seamstress so I notice stitching etc. I would wear this anywhere a fleece jacket would be appropriate and would order another one.

Flattering and comfy
This is soft, warm, and very flattering! I got my usual size and despite having a larger bust, it accommodated it just fine. I was worried it would have no give. I washed it upon arrival and air dried it. It got a little less soft but held up well. My husband has the men’s version in a few colors and they haven’t degraded upon multiple washings, so I’m assuming the same will be true with this.

Good but zipper won’t bend if you sit.
Good jacket for the price and quality is good. It has zipper to hold my phone safely. That is an advantage. Only con I found is the zip is too thick so if you sit that coat kind of looks odd . It won’t bend.

Pretty good for the price, but little fuzzies come off of the fabric onto everything, which is a bit annoying. Comfortable and looks nice though.

I really like this hoodie but it ran a little small so I had to swap for one size up. Washes great and the blue is very pretty. I love all the pockets, but the inside ones are a little too deep and narrow for convenience.

Perfect Fitting & Warm Hooded Jacket
I really love this jacket. I initially got it for a Halloween because I wasn’t sure how much I’d like it. It’s super soft, and warm. I don’t zip it up just because I feel like it is too tight. There’s pockets on the outside and inside! Overall, I’ll probably purchase this jacket again in other colors.

Just what I was hoping for – lightweight substitute for a zip-up hooded sweatshirt
Very pleased with this purchase! I’m 5’10” with long arms (but narrow shoulders) and the Medium fits great. The sleeves are even long enough, which is a rare find for me. I couldn’t fit anything bulky under this jacket, because it’s a slim fit, but it’s perfect with a thin shirt underneath. The only thing that could make this jacket better is if it had thumb holes, but I still love it!

I purchased to wear at the office becuase it is so cold. My lab coat doesn’t keep me warm. I was able to monogram it myself. Wears well and felt like it was great for the price. Would definitely purchase again.

Nice jacket for cooler mornings.
The fleece itself is very light and is perfect to wear to work every morning. I only wish the pockets were a little deeper for my iPhone, but other than that, it fits me perfectly and you can’t beat the price! I’ve wash it every week since I’ve bought it and it’s holding up just fine so far. I’m a plus size gal and on the shorter side, the 2xl fit me great.

Great jacket
Great jacket,, maybe not for super super cold temps but good for fall temps or these wimpy winter days in the south 😊.Has zipper pockets and pockets on the inside on both sides ( takes me back to my Members Only jacket back in the day)I ordered my usual size (small) but if I order another, I will prob order a size up because with a thicker shirt or sweater underneath, I could’ve used it.

Warm midlayer but very cheap
Cheap fleece material, started shedding and pilling immediately out of the package, was no match for a quick drive with my seatbelt on! Sleeves could be a couple inches longer, needs elastic around the wrists, hem, and hood to keep the cold air out. Would be very warm if that was the case. I like the color but other than that this is a disappointing purchase. Already cut off the tag or I’d return it.

pros And cons
I ordered this back in December and have worn it almost daily since. Good for outside and in the AC.Things I like:First, there is a pink color offered… This is what I ordered, and I love it! Very bright.Second, this does not shrink in the dryer.Third, this does not have a stand-up collar… I do not like stand-up collars.Things For Improvement:First, this is not as thick/soft as the stand-up collar version Amazon offers. As stated above, I do not like stand-up collars, so wish this hooded jacket was the same thickness/softness as the stand-up collar version.Second, this does not have as many color options as the stand-up collar version.

Love These Jackets!
I love a good fleece for winter, and I usually get them from Old Navy, but I saw these on Amazon a couple of years ago, so bought one to try it out. I absolutely loved it, so I’ve purchased several colors in their different styles for my collection, and eventually, I’d like to have them all. They’re not as soft as the Old Navy fleeces, but they are more wind-resistant, and they’re about $15 cheaper! I’m 6’0″, busty, and wear a L/XL in tops depending on how fitted the chest is, so I sized up to the XL per the size chart, and I’m glad I did. The length is perfect, and the fit is a little more loose than I prefer, but it works when I have to layer underneath in the bitter cold. I travel a lot for work and play, and these have kept me warm in Chicago, and the mountains in Wyoming, and during very cold winters at work. I can’t recommend them enough and I hope they keep releasing new colors!

Great lightweight fleece
I really like this jacket. I was torn between ordering the standard size vs the plus size version. The size charts had the same measurements listed for the 2x standard size and the 18W of the plus size so since this one was cheaper I went with it.Since it’s stretchy it still fits just fine but if you want a larger fit or will be layering it over bulky sweaters I would recommend going a size up if you’re on the top end of the measurements on the size chart.Warmth wise or works great for me living in the south where the temps don’t dip too far below freezing. I’m also a pretty hot natured person so I wasn’t looking for anything too heavy.This is a great lightweight sturdy fleece jacket and I would definitely recommend it.

Good light weight fleece for spring/fall weather but horrible collar!
I ordered a number of these jackets in different colors because I liked the zippered pockets and that it’s a hoodie. The fleece is light enough that you can layer a vest over it. I would have given it a higher rating except for one major ‘fault’, the collar! For some reason, the collar, or the top of the zipper keeps digging into my neck right at my throat! I have fleece hoodies from other brands and none of them has this issue. So now I need to wear a vest over it just so I can peel back the collar and use the vest to hold the flaps back. If it’s a windy day and I absolutely need to zip it all the way up, I’ll then wear a heavy neck gaiter just so the top won’t dig too much into my throat. They put a lot of material at the top of the zipper so it’s very hard and uncomfortable. I’ll not be buying anymore of this jacket.

Love this hoodie
Bought a white one a while ago and loved it. Put the aqua blue in my cart and sure enough it went on sale and I bought that one too.Size small was plenty big enough even to put some layers underneath. Flattering cut. So far has washed well. Warm but I do not overheat.Think I will need to pick some more colors up as they go on sale.

Nice fleece. Fits me a bit weird, however, it will probably fit others well.
I bought this in purple in size M. First I must say that I love the color. The jacket is of nice quality and I appreciate the zippered pockets. It is light yet fairly warm. I bought it with the intention of wearing it indoors as an extra layer in cooler weather (vs. as a jacket for the outdoors). My only complaints are in regards to the fit. It is a bit long on me. The sleeves are also a bit long (I fold them over) and they’re also rather narrow between the elbows and the wrists. For reference, I am 5′ 3-1/2″, +-128 lbs and I have fairly long legs.

Nice features
First, and most important, my iPhone XR fits unobtrusively in the zippered pockets! This, alone, is a major plus. The cuffs, hem, and hood are edged in slightly contrasting bias tape—it’s an understated accent.The hood rises from a sort of cowl collar, so it would offer good protection from weather if necessary.It is more fitted than my Land’s End and L.L. Bean fleece jackets—it won’t accommodate much layering.The fabric — what can I say: it’s not Polartec, but nice enough out of the box so to speak.
