I got this fleece jacket for a costume, so I wasn't really looking for anything that would last awhile or that was particularly warm.  This jacket is light for a fleece.  I wear it around the house or office, where temperatures are usually around 65 degrees.  I own a heavier fleece jacket (Mountain Hardware Monkey Woman) that I prefer for the outdoor cold.  This jacket is soft enough but nowhere near the heavenly plushness of my Mountain Hardware jacket.

I also have to comment on the size.  Since I was ordering this jacket at the last minute, I knew I wouldn't have time for returns.  I noticed some reviewers commenting that the jacket runs small, so I ordered a large where I normally wear a medium.  It ended up being pretty baggy, but wearable.  It's my opinion that the jacket fits true to size.
