You're either a plant or you simply didn't get my first point, which was that this purely a marketing exercise, it's like giving yourself an award.
Also, if you think £70 for a hooded fleece jumper is good value then you must be very well off, especially for one where the zip hasn't even been put on straight, it looks like something Bruno or Austin Powers would wear.
Personally I've had a number of polartec items, three in the last year. Firstly a Monatane Oryx which was returned after it bobbled and pilled badly in the first few days from normal wear. Secondly, a Mountain Equipment fleece jacket which also would have been returned for the same reason had I not accidentally put a hole in it, and a pair of outdoor design gloves which also did the same thing but were so cheap I wasn't that bothered.
So, three different weights of polartec fabric, from three different manufacturers all degraded quite badly in a short space of time.
