Could test in the currently frigid temperatures the hoody. The jacket keeps very warm, but not windproof but what is normal for a fleece jacket in strong wind. Plotting the fleece mid layer than with a wind- and waterproof outer jacket is this combination hard to beat, especially when the hood of the outer jacket is unlined. My affluence belly fits easily into the jacket also in length to the jacket is perfect. The only complaint is the arm length, which could be a little shorter for me but that thanks to the flexible material is not a problem. The hood can be adjusted by a cord. The zippers are of good quality. Warm and big bags outside.
