Description of Montane Oryx Fleece Jacket - Men's:
Pull on the Montane Men’s Oryx Fleece Jacket and lighten your load when you climb, bike, hike, or run. This versatile midlayer weighs in at a scant 9oz and saves room in your pack for food and equipment rather than bulky outerwear. The Oryx wicks away moisture during a spring day on the crag and insulates when you layer it under a shell to catch first chair. Montane designed underarm breathing panels for the Oryx to increase ventilation and freedom of movement no matter what the activity.

Fits long and lean, I'm 5'10"-165lbs and a large works well for me. It's very light and soft, can be worn alone. Full zip and other features make it more than just a lite weight fleece but also add to the price. I like it a lot.
Although I work for Montane, we do pay for our products, and my Oryx is one of the best and coolest looking products I have ever bought (and no I did not design it!). It is a slim fitting, but really stretchy and techy looking Powerdry top, with a neat little ipod/compass chest pocket and lighter, high wicking fabric under the arms. I use it as a mid-layer for hiking in spring/autumn, or directly against my skin for running or rowing in the winter, with a Pertex shell over the top.
