Simply put: a beast! - Rab Double Pile Jacket - Men's

RAB has outdone themselves with a true BEAST of a warm, comfy, cozy, totally desirable heavy-piled fleece jacket. Bar none! Reviewers have slighted the slick lining on the inside front face of the jacket but it is stated in the description to expect this so what's the issue?! No surpises there. Is it warm? Undoubtedly. Is it thick? Ummm.... way YES! Does the hand of the material please the senses? Undoubtedly.... which is probably what those reviewers wish was also lining the inside. Can't blame them on that point. The material is so soft and comfy even I would like to feel it on the inside to but that does not take away from the fact that this thing is the unrivaled beast of plush, thick warmth among all fleece jackets!! ALL fleece jackets, period. Of note, your normal size will likely be too large! Respectfully speaking, if you pack extra pounds and girth, no issue. But... if you're of a more athletic build/body type, it WILL be to big to order in your normal size UNLESS you intend to layer heavily UNDERNEATH this thing. And, it's not a shell, has no REAL wind protection, so sizing down in order to layer under qualified windshells would be a better choice. This is EXACTLY what I was looking for, being a very heavy/insulating fleece layering jacket which, as stand alone, is sharp and comfy all on its own. I will counter any naysayer; RAB NAILED IT with this jacket! Worth EVERY penny.
