Description of B by Burton Academia Fleece Jacket - Women's:
You don't need a fancy degree to see that the B by Burton Women's Academia Fleece Jacket makes a great choice for insulation on a snowboard trip or just roaming the campus. Soft microfleece material provides insulation while leather tie details give the Academia Fleece Jacket its stand-out style. *Available for US Shipment Only.
Bottom Line: The B by Burton Academia Fleece Jacket keeps you from freezing on a cold day.
I bought a size small around this Jan/Feb 2009, not bad for street wear on a cold day, especially I can't take coldness very well, thought I haven't used this one for snowboard yet.
However, when you are about to buy this one, the cuffs are tight, they don't stretch very well, the sleeves on shoulders part have a little bit of "princess" puff, not a lot, just a little bit.
The whole piece doesn't stretch very well, if you need the mobility, size up.

This jacket is really good looking. Lots of cool details, love the color (got the olive version), perfect sleeve length and very warm. It is much more a jacket than a fleece you would wear underneath. I do wish it was a little longer , but that's just a personal preference. I have used this jacket for everything but snowboarding and received lots of compliments from complete strangers!
