I always buy Columbia for my outerwear, and haven't gone wrong yet. I'm a rather large young woman who enjoys wearing men's clothing for a little extra room, and that is what this provides. The fabric is very soft and COMFORTABLE.

The only real complain I have is the zipper. I have discovered that zippers are one of Columbia's weak points. I have had a couple break and need replacement, and the zipper on this fleece feels like it could go at any time. But it's obviously not a deterring factor for me.
