Excellent top. Super warm. Perfect fit. I wear it as a liner to my coats. Comfortable. Pockects are warm. Form fitting. There is a convenient zipper on the upper arm.

Love it!

Love this jacket, it is very light weight but keeps me warm, is a great extra layer. I use it when I play with my horses, as I hate to be all bulked up, but want to be warm.

Wonderful Icebreaker

I've owned this for a year now, and absolutely love it. I wear it mainly as a jacket for cool days in Fall & Spring, and as a sweater in the winter. I like the super soft interior, warmth-to-weight ratio, nice length past my hips, and the flattering cut. I am 5'5", 125lbs, A chest, and I bought the Medium so that I could wear a thicker layer underneath. The Small does fit but was more form fitting, and I tend to like a little bit of room under the arms. The only thing I would change is to have the zipper open from the bottom up, so that it doesn't curl after sitting. Given the length, it always curls.

good lightweight jacket

I have the jacket in gray with red trim and also in black. They fit well, but are a little on the long side (I'm 5'2.5). I usually wear a medium in most brands, so I chose medium, which is kind of slim fitting (I'm 130). They are very good quality and I like them because they don't pill (a problem with the patagonia better sweater or arcteryx covert cardigan). Not that warm, but a good layering piece.

Love Icebreaker

I am 5'7" and weigh 137 lb. I wear Icebreaker in size large. The Women's Cascade Full Zip Fleece Jacket fit's me perfectly but it is on the tight side. I also purchased it in XL when I want more warmth and wear another layer underneath.

Fit different than store

I really needed this for a trip I am taking next week. I had tried on the hooded version of this jacket in store last winter. It was kind of tight so I ordered the large here. I just received it and it is too big and doesn't have the thumb holes which were key for me. everything else seems fine but I am returning it based on those two things. I will order something else in Medium this time, if they can get it to me in time. I am a 36 across the chest and think i have slightly broad shoulders...rest is fairly average in size.

Icebreaker wool jacket is equal to smarthwool... very cool design, size runs large

Warm, comfy fleece

This is one of my favorite fleece jackets. As with all Icebreaker, it is made of merino wool but after washing a few times any initial itchiness disappears and the garment becomes incredibly soft and fabulous (I think it actually gets better as you wash it). The Cascade fleece is fitted but I would say it is true-to-size. If you're looking for a more relaxed fit you may want to size up. The pockets are great: two at the hip and one on the left arm. I like the slightly longer curved back hem to cover the rear. The zipper has a wind guard and there is a small loop at the collar for hanging on a hook. Oh, and it really doesn't stink even after multiple wears between washing. Great staple!
