| Runs small. 01-16-09 |

| I was really excited about owning this jacket but it ran really small. I wear an XL in everything -- including other Cloudveil products -- and this was way too tight in the armpits. Wasn't wearable. It rode too high in the pits and was way too restrictive in arm movement. Downright uncomfortable. That's all a sizing issue. Other than that, this seems like a kick ass jacket. It was the hefty midweight I wanted and it had a faint/unique texture that gives it a nice style. I really like Cloudveil products, and I'm sure this had excellent quality, but be forewarned on sizing. |

| i've had mine for about a year now. overall i'm happy with it. i'm 5'9" and 152lbs with an athletic build. don't know what everyone's talking about when they say it runs small... the small fits me great, but this jacket has a cut somewhere between athletic and casual. the collar is a little bulky and doesn't seal up tight around the neck. the torso is just a bit roomy. The fabric is great, just now after a year of heavy use i'm finally seeing just a little pilling. The fabric does well in the wind. it's not as effective as gore windstopper, but it does have a much softer hand. it's very warm. with icebreaker 180 and this jacket i'm good down to about 35 F just standing around.
cloudveil built this thing right, the stitching etc. is first-rate. the windproof flap behind the zipper is a nice touch. |

| Awesome Fleece Jacket 11-21-09 |

| Wore it in NYC Nov 1st this year, temperatures ranging from 45-65 with only a short sleeve t-shirt underneath and a beanie on top. At 45 was pushing a little cold but good enough to withstand a ride on atop a double decker bus. Outstanding, not much else you can expect as far as warmth from a fleece. Fit is perfect for me, I am normal stature 5'7" and 150lbs and the size M fit like a glove. The texture is beautiful - I got the black - and at $79 this was a steal. Will order again from BC, excellent service and great prices. |

| ok. first, i have to say the grid pattern on the jacket is hard to get used to, but it does grow on you. Go for black if you want to hide the grid pattern....black looks better comparing the blue as the pattern is not as obvious. i bought one black and one blue as my friend wanted a black one. weird thing, though, that the vendor tag on the black showed the material as Thermal Pro while the blue one showed Wind Pro. both jacket materials look identical so i think they're both the same.
very warm jacket, sturdy. have not tested wind resistance part, but it's a very comfortable jacket, and layer easy compare to North Face Denali.
between Denali and Gridlock- i definitely recommend Gridlock, especially when it's on sale. |

| This jacket is very warm. However I noticed that when I got the jacket it said Polartec Thermal pro but said nothing of the website stated Wind Pro. The jacket has very neat, clean stiching, great quality. only complaint is no elastic in the wrists. The sizing is a little odd. I'm 5'9 175 and the sleeves were much too long but it was too tight in the chest and arm pits and a little too short. Sent it back for a large. Great customer support, as always. They were very informative about the sizing |

| Good Fleece 10-06-09 |

| I just got this fleece. The large fits me well (6'1, 175) - it leaves enough room underneath to not look like some purely technical layer, but when I tried it on under my shell, there was plenty of room for movement. It appears to have a high initial quality and looks a little less technical than I expected, partly because the seam running along the midsection has black rather than a gray/white stitching that is shown on the picture (mine is black). Since I just got the jacket yesterday, I have not had a chance to test it in the wind, but I am guessing it will not be great. The jacket came with a polartec thermal pro tag rather than a polartec wind pro tag. This isn't really a big deal to me since I'd rather have the extra breathability, but I feel like it might be an issue for some people. My only real complaint thus far is that the hand openings are a little big, other than that its a good jacket. 4 Stars |

| Just received this today and it seems like a pretty good little piece. Just wore it out on a nippy, windy spring day (4 degrees Celsius) in Calgary, and it seems pretty good. I don't know what people are complaining about with the wind--it seems to do pretty well in the wind all things considered. Yes, a little wind goes through, but, c'mon it's a fleece. That's what shells are for. It performs way better than my old Polartec 300 fleece in the wind, that's for sure. I am 5'8" and got the medium. It fits pretty much true to size. I have a bit of room to layer under there. It's a little expensive, but I got it on S & C, and I think it's good piece for that price. The only thing I would change is that I'd add some pit zips, but that's not a big deal. It's not often that I open those vents in my mid-layer anyway. |

| Excellent mid-layer but not windproof 03-15-09 |

| I bought this primarily to serve as a heavy mid-layer for layering on very cold days. It's an excellent fleece that is of comparable weight as Patagonia's R3 line. I like the styling and its admittedly slim fit. It's certainly not windproof but I think it's very warm and have been comfortable wearing it over a T-shirt in calm 40+ degree weather. |

| The Gridlock is not, by any means, a windbreaker. I wore is in Boston and along the New England shoreline in Oct. and needed a windbreaker shell. The jacket is warm and warmer than most fleeces in it's class but should not be advertised as a windstopper. A bit pricey for it's capability. But a great fleece jacket. |

| Hard to believe high ratings 08-31-08 |

| I bought 2007 model with high ratings and found that how bad it is compare to Denali(not greatest jacket though).
1. Front zipper disengaged under normal use the very first day. Not good for any serious sports.
2. Outer material is irritating to skin with a contact whereas Denali feels soft, warm and comfortable.
3. Warmness is poorest among others with this price range.
4. Bought from Backcountry, but I can't use it in backcountry...too dangerous to use it poor qualities. |
