I bought this pullover as an insulating (middle) layer for a vacation to Southern California over the winter. Temperatures were guesstimated to be from 45 degrees at night to 70 Degrees during the day. That's quite a swing, but not really that cold. I decided to would need to layer to make it through the 25 degree difference. I was tooling around on Amazon look for something that would work. I decided on lightweight wool base layers (t shirts), this lightweight pullover, and a waterproof shell.

I wore a t shirt and this pullover for 90% of the trip. During the day temps ranged from 55 degrees to 70 degrees. I never had to take this pullover off because it was too hot. I did push the sleeves up to my elbows during warm spots. Then at night with my shell zipped and buttoned up, I was comfortable (or at least survivable) down to 45 degrees.

I was surprised at the warmth this lightweight fleece provided. I was more surprised at how good it looks. I bought this pullover for function, and the price. Like many of the reviewers here, I was very pleasantly surprised that pullover wears so well.

Bottom line: I love this sweater. Highly recommended. I do not think you will find a higher quality-price-ratio on any microfleece puilover anywhere. Period.
