Columbia Voltage II Full-Zip Jacket - Men's 01-08-09
My primary use for my Columbia Voltage II will be for camping later in the season and layering in winter. I tend not to wear pull over sweaters, much prefer full zip garments. The Columbia Voltage II has no side pockets but I knew that when I made the purchase, no big deal! I like the exterior weave design as I have other fleece garments, Columbia, Marmot and Mountain Hardware. If you would like a departure from the fleece feel, this is a good one.
The Columbia Voltage II is an outstanding tactical layer for cool weather (35-50F). I use it as a lining for a nylon police rain coat. It can be used as a liner for any nylon shell, actually. It can also be worn on its own as a warmup jacket for any outdoor activity. I get compliments for its styling and color. The only drawback might be the exterior feel of the jacket. My girlfriend says it is 'scratchy.' I like it, but she has a point. This is not a soft fleece liner. Being breathable, the fabric has an interesting weave design and does feel scratchy on the outside. But it's such a useful jacket, I bought two different colors.
