Okay, as you can see I was definitely pleased with this item for being a thicker and heavier fleece that I was anticipating. When it arrived I was really pleased to see this product will meet the below freezing temps and wind chill of the Ohio River Valley head-on and maintain ones core temp. I tried it on of course and within a minute or two my head was beading with sweat so I am confident it will perform flawlessly in the winter, especially in conjunction with a fleece skull cap. Highly recommend to any and all that know they must get out in the frigid cold for any extended period of time. Slainte'.
