Review for model:

A soft-to-the-touch sweatshirt made of warm fleece, very comfortable to wear. The zipper at the neck does not pinch or irritate the skin. Well-fitted cut, works well for walks. I wholeheartedly recommend it.

The fleece is exceptionally warm and pleasant to the touch, I'm very happy with the attractive price. The front pocket is practical, and the size matches the description. The only drawback is the lack of a drawstring at the bottom.

This fleece is very warm – it will be perfect as outerwear for autumn, and in winter it will serve as an extra layer under a jacket. The material is high-quality, soft, and durable.

A fleece with a simple cut and a nice green color, made from good quality material. After several washes, there are no signs of pilling. It works great on cooler days.

The fleece is simple, very well made (seams are flawless, no loose threads—typical Columbia quality). The color is more of a cool graphite than black, which I personally see as an advantage. In terms of size, I am 180 cm tall and weigh 70 kg, and the size M is perfect—it’s a fleece for everyday wear or hiking, not tight-fitting for running. The only downside is the very strong factory smell when opening it (a familiar scent of machine oil and metal shavings, which some might even find pleasant, but it’s very intense). I haven’t smelled an aroma like this in new clothing for a long time, but after a few hours of airing out, it gets better. After washing, the smell should disappear completely.

Delivery was lightning fast, which I would rate 5 stars for. The fleece itself is fine, the only downside is the sizing runs large—with a height of 178 cm and weight of about 73 kg, I took an M and it turned out to be loose. Normally I don’t buy size S, but in this case, it probably would have been better. However, it’s not a big issue, the fleece stays with me.
