I bought this for my study sessions in COLD COLD library.  Staying in library for about 10 hours chills your body quite hard.  That is why I bought this and even though wind seeps through a little, it keeps me warm in the library all day.  The quality is smooth and soft.  1 thing that I didn't like was the zipper because it looked kind of cheap.  Im afraid that one day the zipper will malfunction on me.  Overall, this is a nice sweater for the price.  MUST GET :)
