Windproof Fleece Jackets

[Phil Lilley]

Does anyone have any recommendations for me? I'm looking for a good windproof fleece jacket. Exclude Orvis and Patagonia.

Columbia makes one although I dont own one. But I have never had a regret with any Columbia apparel that I have bought.

I have two of them. One heavier than the other. The lighter weight one came from Cabelas and has zippers under the arms you can open for ventilation. Very good quality and almost completely waterproof. Good jacket for boat fishing unless really bitter cold.

The other one, much heavier fleece and warm like you wouldn't believe came from Duluth Trading Co.

Heavier fleece and very good quality as are most of their products.

Wife and I have Mountain Hardwear jackets that we've owned for several years. Excellent quality and very durable. I highly recommend them.

Simms . You might spend $425 to get one... but you would be the most windproof / most warm and comfortable guy who is out $425.

Yep, it's good stuff. If you're looking for really quality outerwear, stick with high-end backpacking gear companies. Mountain Hardwear, Arc Teryx, Marmot, Patagonia (you'll pay big bucks for those), even North Face isn't bad. REI actually makes some decent stuff for much better prices than the top-notch brands.

Brian- I don't EVEN like the looks of that Simms jacket so, no, I'm not going to spend the big bucks for it. If I ever win one in a contest, I'll give it to you.
