Default Fleece Jacket!!

Looking for a new fleece jacket and like the look of the Greys GRXi version or the Hardys EWS one.

Has anyone got any comments on these that can help me chose one of these or indeed another make that is deemed better etc.

Thanks in advance

I looked at the well known "mountain" brands for a windproof fleece. I was sure that this would get me a better fleece than I'd get from a fishing brand. (I already own one very nice mountaineering windproof fleece but was looking for a more appropriate colour).

After considering the prices and the quality, I ended up getting a Hardy EWS windproof (at a very good price from Grommit I have to say!).

Surprisingly good, well-made fleece imo and better value than most "mountain" versions.

As Don says, but if you are a medium, get a large etc, and for some reason all the EWS fleeces have very long arms.

Have you had any thoughts of the Airflo Hydrotec hooded softshell?

I bought my dad one of these a few months ago and he is pleased with it. Showerproof, Warm and Comfortable.
