The fleece is supple and a decent mid layer (folded around a t shirt -a perfect overnight pillow) but cannot stand on its own in any sort of breeze. The other thing is the waistband; it's way too tight. I can't imagine why montane did not include a draw cord so you could adjust as needed. Draw cords are basic and standard on just about every piece of tech gear I own. Shame, it would have been a awesome mid.
