Cuffs are still to small as is the neck. Same prob as the last Fleece.
I am looking forward to the next logical step, Soft shell. Please let someone other than CTS design it though.

well, they changed the cuffs on the fleece pants to zipper straight legs instead of the constricting cuff. maybe, just maybe, they will change the jacket too.

no not those old bulky things. I mean the m-65 us army combat jacket liners made out of the same material as the poncho liner/ cave blanket material. had buttons down the front. it was quilted lightweight and really nice.

And you can actually wear it under a combat shirt. Still have mine also. As a matter of fact, I think I still have my old combat jacket buried in the basement someplace. Not sure why.
I'm glad so many people have issues with the cuffs/sleeves of the fleece sweater. I feel like I'm built like Popeye when I wear that thing.
Nice and fuzzy warm though, does work good (as long as it's dry) in layers. Makes real good sleeping clothes.
What's all this beeitching about how small it packs? You guys actually carry your stuff or something? Don't you have an HL Wrecker or something to put it in?

True,
I use compression sacks fairly extensively. I really like them for packing my sleeping kit and the things I keep in the inner section of my ruck (socks/extra shit/ etc). Things like the fleece I like to keep in a place where it is easily and quickly accessible. I tend to throw on extra warm shit on the fly when I have the opportunity. Since the fleece is something you are going to throw on fairly quickly it makes no sense to me to stow it away deep in the ruck (I use a 64 pattern so it is difficult to access the main compartment quickly). I find compression sacks take quite some time to get kit stowed away in and to drag the kit out, so I limit the use of compression sacks to non-essential kit, stuff that I dont need to access quickly. I think it all depends on what trade and role you are filling. If you are in a CQ or other HQ posn it is easier to basically set up camp and then just live out of your ruck, where as if you are light infantry you rarely "unpack" your ruck. Basically grab something and stow it back away so you can move on the fly.
For me the packing issue, and the ridiculously small cuffs preclude me from using the fleece. I would use my alpha liner if I didnt get a snugpak. Warmer, packs smaller, insulates better when wet, and cuffs that fit my arms!
