    Awesome! - One point of consideration

    This fleece from a performance perspective is everything it promises. It is lightweight. It is warm. It is awesome! I am still giving this fleece 5 stars, but it is sensitive to snagging. I have stagged it multiple times and it seems like it's pulling threads, there's no real way to massage the threads back in, so I cut them if I need to. It also seems that this has no immediate impact on its performance. It will be interesting to see how it goes over multiple wears

    Amazing

    It kept me warm in the morning even with a slight breeze. Love the hood. Just wish the drawstring worked a little better.

    Coziest sweater ever!

    Surprised how light weight and cozy this thing is! But Def wear a wool long sleeve shirt underneath, as you walk you will feel the cold if you don't have a warm shirt on.

    It is the bomb*

    * its the bomb with a second layer. i just got back from my first trip using alpha direct but you have to have a wind layer. you would freeze in the snow as pictured. a wind shirt/jacket/or your rain layer makes it all work. i replaced my down puffy with not one but 2 alpha directs (a bit lighter than this one) and they weight the same as a hoodless ghost whisperer (pretty much same cost). in that they are 2 vs one they pack better. one can get wet and you're not *******. 2 layers vs one. 2 comfy hoods vs just a beanie. not down. 90 gsm is awesome. i pair it with a 60 gsm over top if i'm cold. in the end with my set up i end up with potentially 5 hoods/layers - sun hoodie/90gsm/60gsm/wind shirt/ and a frogg togg. bullet proof, uber light and useful combo - you have to try this type of gear.
