    awesome bit of kit...BUT plurry hot..I find I get puckerooed wearing it..bloody good for keeping you warm and clean...great for carting pork on your back. pockets are awesome..my 10x binos fit in tit pocket,sideways tit pocket has zip,ideal for phone...hand warmer pockets in good position. easy to move wearing it...couldnt find a big dog in my size so went this way and love it.
    have found if just a TEE shirt under neath the over heat thing isnt an issue,big zip on the front helps.
    and great with pack on the back too.

    Mean that’s the type of info I’m after,I usually just run an under armour long sleeve thermal under my jacket and a merino tee from farmlands over that if early morning or looking to get wet/cold later in the day,I run pretty hot most of the time.looked the long tail on them as well,I spend a lot of time sitting and watching while bush hunting.

    perfect for that...the older ridgeline nylon tops with vented mesh on sides work perfectly for me...cant kill them,bought two 20ish years ago and the ystill going strong.
    sitting and glassing is ideal...can flick hood up if REALLY cold..and it has to be for me to use one... the one on these is pretty good.

    Another good fleece jacket is the swazi windriver - I got one a few months ago and love it.

    Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing, and right-doing, there is a field. I will meet you there.
