Highlighted by Outside magazine in 2006 for "its textured finish and kick-back styling", the Cloudveil Men's Gridlock Jacket offers a relaxed fit in a subtle tech-town design. With casual townie looks, this Polartecre WIND PRO jacket, with heavyweight Dobby face, is four times more wind resistant than standard fleece, highly breathable, and water repellent. When you head for the backcountry, it makes an awesome technical layer, by itself or layered under a shell. While on an all-day trek to the Stanley Mitchell Hut, this jacket excels at trapping heat and cutting the wind. Once there it's a perfect throw on when making a quick bucket run for water or bringing in some wood. Drying quickly on a hut hook, a shearling interior feels soft on the skin, while a one-hand adjustable storm hem and zippered hand-warmer pocket give storm relief when you have to head out for another supply run.
Best Fleece I Have Ever Owned
Hands down, best fleece jacket I have ever owned. I have previously worn Marmot, Columbia, Mountain Hardwear, The North Face, and Patagonia, but not one of those other brands fit as well, was more comfortable, or kept me as warm as the Cloudveil. I love the fact that it is form fitting through the mid-section and has plenty of length in the arms--perfect jacket for anyone who is tall and athletically built.
Great quality and great fit
If you are slim or athletic build you will love this, this is the best fitting jacket I have ever owned. I'm 6'4" and have a 34" waist, normally I have to get a XL to get enought length but the jacket just hangs loose around my middle....like every tall person have a 40" waist! The quality is great too, as good as Arc'Teryx (but better fitting).
Warm Fleece
Had a North Face Denali and really disliked how the wind blew right through it like I had nothing on. Sold it and bought this one to replace it. It is much nicer in the fact that it stops wind, has a rougher exterior yet soft interior, and just that not every single person you see has one. You can't go wrong with this jacket! 10X better than the North Face and for a smaller price (when on sale).
