FLUFFY AND CUDDLY. MMMMMMM.
It is really soft and tactile and despite many washes in the machine, it hasn't pilled yet.
It is the top of my choice to take backpacking or camping for the 'extra warm layer' because it doubles up as a comfortable pillow due to it's high loft.
It seems to weigh virtually nothing.
At the full price it seems to be a bit steep for a little fluffy top but I got mine in the George Fisher sale at half price.
The cut and length are just right and the sizing is spot-on. I would have preferred the dusky-lilac colour but I got charcoal as it was in the sale and it is attractive and doesn't show ANY dirt at all. I have rated the value at the price I paid.
This is a warm, soft, insulating and truly versatile top.
Buy one :)

WARM & LIGHT - IF THE PRICE IS RIGHT
Incredibly warm for it's minimal weight. Nice soft fleece. High collar for warmth & long front zip for cooling. Extremely good wicking if used as base layer. Can be found really cheap in bargain bins. Mine has a chest pocket?
Lurid yellow colour. Construction & stitching not the best. Pilling on neck.
Great for biking & running where heavier fleeces make you overheat. Bought from TK-Maxx for only 15 quid. Go light on the cheap with this and a pertex top. Best microfleece I know of.

COSY-TOASTY.
Comfortably, Light and Cosy-toasty.
No pocket.
Like Greame says it has an almost magnetic attraction to dog hairs!
BUT it's a fantastic little lightweight fleecy top. I sometimes wear it for running under the Sprayway Microlite windproof in winter, and I don't over heat, and it can just about manage three days of this before it starts to get minging.
It's lighht enough to pop in your sack and forget about, makes a great fleecy pillow, and the fleece pile is one of the softest around.
The collar is good and stands up fairly high and unlike some fleece jumpers the zip doesn't dig into my neck when it's done up all the way.
Top fleece. And it appears to be lasting better then the Berghaus Yukon which is a direct competitor to it. I like the Yukon, but given the choice over the two, I'd pick the Huggy as my favourite.

LIGHT AND WARM
Lightweight. Warm. Packs small. Dries quickly.
Attracts dog hairs! No pockets.
Good micro fleece.

A cosy top for summer when the sun goes down
Very lightweight and extremely soft against the skin
Prone to the old enemy of fleece.....pilling! Especially around the chin-high neck
A comfortable lightweight top which appears to fall down because of the pilling which makes it look incredibly tatty!
