I’ve been wearing Polar fleece since the Army place this into their inventory in 2005. Not only does this keep you warm but is so snugly and comfortable when you sleep. I’ve worn fleece clothing on the coldest and snowy mountain tops of Afghanistan and it has always kept me warm. If you’ve ever been stationed in Germany during the winter then you know how cold it gets there but with Fleece sweater I didn’t even need a Jacket, its perfect for any condition. I prefer Fleece over cotton cause it wont wont absorb the sweat and soak the material and it wont shrink on you. Love me some Fleece!!

This is a near perfect item.
What I like:
1. The design of the sweatshirt is near perfect.
2. The sweatshirt is not shiny like silk PJ’s.
3. The sweatshirt is warm.
4. The material is soft and comfortable.
5. The price is somewhat fair.
6. There is no LOGO saying I want to show everyone I am an idiot and pay excessive amounts of money to be a walking billboard for (insert whatever company here) but I can be part of this crowd even if I have to max out my credit and go into debt at least I am someone. It makes you an advertisement vessel a walking billboard that you pay handsomely for. Educate yourself stop the nonsense. Its one thing to support and buy local things and spend excessively but all clothing is made in the same locations with essentially the same materials. These days we are not supporting anything other than overpayment and debt for our fellow man and ourselves. A worker making the clothing is likely still payed a repulsive amount of money in poor conditions and you help build empires to support this! “A Brand DOES NOT maketh the man!”
7. The full zipper nothing like having to shed this layer and having to pull it off over your head a full zipper allows easy removal without having your gut hanging out or having the zipper get caught in your hair. And if you have to hold another item in your hand while taking it off you can do so in comfort.
What I dislike about this product:
1. Elastic on the sleeve and bottom I prefer the open concept relaxed fit everywhere. No more elastic please!
2. Zippers on the pocket are very uncomfortable for someone who frequently uses their pockets as I do get rid of them!
3. Material quality needs work 2 out of 4 of these sweaters are shedding badly and pilling up after 2 uses and a single wash actually they started doing this after the first year of 10 hours in a working environment just the rubbing caused it and my t-shirt underneath was also covered in black fuzz! Quality Control is needed!
4. The stiffness of sweatshirt it does not bend and flow as freely as it should mostly due to elastic and material.
5. The black coloring should be darker.
Conclusions:
This is a near perfect sweatshirt I may even buy more or try to get replacements for the faulty sweatshirts. I have found if you take a wide-toothed comb to the sweatshirts that are pilling you can comb it out and make it look somewhat decent again. (Not something I prefer to do but if need be I suppose I will.) I believe if you washed this sweatshirt a couple of times before wearing it maybe 3 times it may aid in the prevention of such issues as I noticed was cycle seemed to improve the pilling and shedding a little bit. I really wish elastic around the sleeves and bottom were gone to allow the sweatshirt to flow and move more naturally while active as I dislike how fashion right now seems to be centered around being a stiff.
To buy or not to buy that is the question?
Overall I would suggest this full zip fleece as one of the better bangs for your buck and it may be advantageous to support the startup of the Amazon Essentials clothing brand to ensure there will be good and affordable clothing in the future. I say probably buy this sweatshirt there is a 50% chance you will get a good one and to be on the safe side wash it about 3 times before wearing it.
Note to Amazon:
You guys are on the right track just a few improvements and you will be a home run product even if you need to charge a few bucks more lets do it and get it done!

Medium weight fleece. I would say it’s a standard fit. I ordered small, and it fits well, with still some extra room in the arms etc.Don’t size up in other words. Front zipped pockets are useful although they do add a bit of visible padding in the gut area with the thicker material. If you’re concerned with looks, that might be the only issue when it’s zipped up.

Sadly this product was disappointing considering all the positive reviews.
Firstly the zip fastener stuck and I put it down to being new or perhaps because it was on the LHS, but after numerous tries I decided it was faulty.
Also the L size fitted my arms in length and was comfortable but the body was way too small. And that’s the problem with buying stuff on line. One man’s large is another man’s small.
It was however lightweight and what I wanted but……………….

If you are in dilemma to buy Columbia fleece or Amzn essential fleece, I will vote for Amzn, I recently tried a Columbia but it kind of looked very unprofessional even for casual wear, the collar didn’t stood uptight and the hand pockets were not flush to the jacket and were hanging out a bit. Since this amzn one has a zipper to outer hand pockets they stay snug to your body. This jacket also has two internal pockets for keeping stuff (without zip). All in all it’s a bargain to buy at this low price. I love the color, it appears a bit on a lighter shade than displayed but great for dressing up or down.

Medium-weight 100 percent polyester fleece is used to create this simple classic style zip-front jacket. The stand-up collar measures 2 1/2 inches high. Both the garment’s straight bottom hem and sleeve hems are a slim 1/4 inch. And although a casing with elastic is not obvious, both areas respond in a similar way, slightly expanding when pulled.
The sizing is exactly as expected. The male in residence normally wears a large jacket but wanted to wear this over a sweater on cold but not frigid winter days when layering makes sense. This size-up is definitely one size larger – no more, no less. The jacket is warm and comfortable, and it looks quite good on him. The design is inherently flattering..
Basic construction. The main zipper is a heavy-duty nylon model with a large easy-to-pull metal tab. Two in-seam vertical pockets have a nylon zipper closure so they secure the contents and do not cause the fabric to sag open, helping to neatly maintain the jacket’s silhouette.
There are two large interior pockets on either side of the zipper that measure 7 1/2 x 11 1/2 inches. They are placed at the mid-point of the front panels extending to the bottom hem edge. These pockets do sag open a bit so they are partially visible when the jacket is un-zipped. This is a minor issue and the additional pocket capacity increases functionality.
The sewing is excellent with the stitches even with no hanging threads and all interior seams are finished which eliminates raw edges for a neat appearance. There is no hanging loop and there is a sewn-in back label. Fabric care instructions are to machine wash cold with like colors, no bleach, tumble dry on low heat, no iron and no dry cleaning. Basic, handsome easy care jacket.

Felpa acquistata a marzo 2019 e recensisco ora, maggio 2020, a distanza di oltre 1 anno, dopo averla indossata parecchio, specialmente per stare nei dintorni di casa, non essendo elegante, ma davvero molto molto calda e pratica.
Le lampo con cordino permettono di allacciarla e slacciarla al volo, sono davvero toste, sia quella per la chiusura della felpa che quelle delle tasche, sono lampo con chiusura femminile, ovvero al contrario di quella maschile, per intenderci il cursore lo farete scorrere con la mano destra anzichè con quella sinistra come sono abituati gli uomini, ma poco male è questione di abitudine.
La felpa è in pile, molto comodo, caldo e soffice, tiene davvero caldo in inverno pieno anche con venticello moderato, ovviamente se il vento è consistente l’aria passa, non essendo fatta di materiali wind stop.
Risulta discretamente traspirante, tanto da non mettersi sonovuoto quando la indossate.
Io sono alto 175cm e peso circa 72Kg, ho preso la taglia S e mi calza alla perfezione, stretta ma non troppo, perfetta di maniche. Le tasche con cerniera sono comode e profonde. Non si tratta di un capo alla moda ma adatto a coloro che lavorano e che necessitano di un indumento caldo per l’inverno da mettere magari sotto la giacca per poi poterlo utilizzare da solo in caso la giornata si scaldi leggermente.
Sono totalmente soddisfatto, nonostante le finiture non precise anzi, tutt’altro, il proprio dovere lo fa egregiamente, tiene caldo e dopo 1 anno di lavaggi praticamente settimanali è ancora soffice e perfetto, difficile pretendere di più.

🔹 CONCLUSIONI:🔹
🟥 🟧 🟨 🟩 🟦 🟪
Al prezzo di 18 euro a marzo 2019 (attualmente 19,99 euro) è difficile pretendere di più da questo genere di indumenti, non di certo adatti a situazioni eleganti ma pià che altro a situazioni pratiche in cui l’efficacia passa in secondo piano rispetto alla bellezza dell’indumento. Diversi colori disponibili ma il camouflage verde è quello che mi ha colpito di più.
Inserisco qualche foto e vi ringrazio per la lettura

Aunque pague menos del precio promedio por esta chamarra, yo la veo como sudadera económica. No hubiera pagado más de $300 por ella. Es solo una tela polar sencilla que no incluye una especie de forro o algo al interior, solo te estarás protegiendo con una tela y listo.
Busquen otras opciones.

Pros: Comfortable, affordable, not undersized. Currently available in tan, which is strangely hard to find in other full zip fleece jackets right now.
Cons: Sheds fuzz like crazy. Makes me doubt its durability, though so far it’s holding up. Using Columbia Steens Mountain as a baseline, it’s heavier than I expected. A bit too warm indoors. The currently trendy cuffless sleeve design is also an annoyance. I’ll willingly pay a bit more for the Columbia next time.
Edit: After two or three wash cycles now, the fuzz ball shedding issue seems to be going away.
Update: a couple of months later, as I feared, visible signs of wear. Elbows are shiny. I have to conclude the product is not a good value even at its well-below-average price.

The description for this product reads, ‘Everyday made better: we listen to customer feedback and fine-tune every detail to ensure quality, fit, and comfort’. Well if this is true why is it still being sold as a Man’s fleece when the zipper is on the Ladies side? There have been enough reviews stating this, so why hasn’t this problem been rectified?
Great shame, because apart from this annoying problem, it’s a great value garment and fits perfectly.
