'NOTHING SPECIAL'
Strengths:
Looks Ok, though black is really dark grey. Brand name for image conscious.
Weaknesses:
Lightweight and insubstantial. Mesh pockets. Definitely not winter wear, except as part of a layering system under a good shell.
Overall:
Fine for around town or for fine weather three season wear. I prefer a much heavier weight fleece and for me this is too light. Sadly it seems very hard to find proper thick winter fleeces nowadays.

The chest is baggy (designed for the fatties?)

'A cheap tecnical fleece'
Strengths:
Warmth all over. There are no gaps in the fabric. Neat storm flap all the way up the zip. I also have the Storm Jacket, I can zip the fleece into it so that you get waterproof and warm. Drys off really quick too
Weaknesses:
To be honest none so far. But an inside pocket would have been a nice touch.
Overall:
The most straight forward jacket of its type. Anti pilling material is a godsend. Looks good down on the town too.

'OK EXCEPT FOR THE FACT THAT IT FELL APART.'
Strengths:
Warm, nice looking.
Weaknesses:
All the stitching came undone inside the pocket and I had to restitch it. Never be the same again.
Overall:
Bought a better fleece for £6.00 from Primark which I have used an abused for a good two year.

'WARM AND COSY'
Strengths:
Nice high collar to keep neck warm, built-in handwarmer in pocket, You can zip it onto another Berghaus Jacket making it total weatherproof. Looks good even down the pub or when shopping.
Weaknesses:
None I can think of, everything seems to be well thought out.
Overall:
A first-class jacket which is stylish and keep it's shape well. For the price a excellent buy.

'VERY WARM AND VERY STRONG'
Strengths:
Snug and warm. Good internal pockets
Weaknesses:
Perhaps a little on the warm side,
Overall:
This is a very warm and comfortable fleece that is long lasting; mine has taken a lot of abuse over time and still looks in quite good condition.

Great for camping stops in the evening. Too hot to walk in though.

'NOT WORTH THE MONEY AND USELESS AS A FLEECE'
Strengths:
None
Weaknesses:
Meshed pockets which means this can only be worn as part of a layer.
Overall:
If the pockets were not meshed I think this fleece could be very good. As the pockets are meshed, your hands are exposed to cold and wind. So really this fleece is useless if you wanted to wear it for everyday use.
