Amazon Essentials Womens Full Zip X Small Reviews Summary

Fit and Comfort

Pros:

• "I love my jacket. Love the color, and did not want a hood."
• "I absolutely like this fleece. It’s warm and fits great I have the large, I am extremely happy and will purchase it in another color."
• "I love this jacket. The material is nice and soft and the fit is perfect."
• "I am very pleased with this fleece jacket. It's mid-weight, has flattering lines, seems well made and the navy color is true navy and just what I wanted."
• "They go very nicely with jeans and I find the fit very flattering."
• "This jacket fits perfect, looks flattering, washes terrific."
• "The Amazon size large is almost the same as the Columbia medium but the Amazon one has a slightly fitted waist and is about 1” longer."

Cons:

• "The white fit, but is snug. It is meant to be a fitted fleece but was a bit tight for a large."
• "The sleeves don't seem to be exactly wrist length."
• "I really wanted to like this product, but sleeves are way too long and it’s just bulky."
• "The sleeves are way too long and too tight for a sweater underneath."
• "The body was cut OK, but the sleeves were ridiculously long - like by half an arm."
• "The fit is flattering only to slender people--it's snug around the hips, and just the right length to accentuate 'saddle bags'."
• "If you don't have a perfectly flat stomach, it's going to make you look bigger than you are if you zip it."

Quality and Durability

Pros:

• "Shipped fast, & seemed well made."
• "Came in just in time for the cold weather. Material is as expected, no shrinkage, fading, or tear after first wash."
• "I am impressed that it has lasted so long despite being washed so many times over the years."
• "The pockets, seams, and zippers all seem to be of a high quality."
• "This was better than I expected. I'm very busty and do not like tight clothing. I bought an XL and it was roomy. Very comfortable."
• "They wash and dry extremely well, according to the directions, and become softer with each wash; low maintenance compared to other more expensive well-known brands."
• "This is a well made and thoughtfully designed fleece jacket."

Cons:

• "When I first purchased this item, I was extremely happy, but upon wearing it I have noticed that the fleece pills."
• "Bought this, wore it 3 times and washed twice, has a hole in the back of the jacket."
• "Hole in seam in side not noticed until pointed out to me by friend. Zipper also spread open from bottom randomly though not a feature of the product."
• "After wearing the jacket for about 4 weeks, the zipper has separated twice."
• "Six weeks later one of them is already ripping at the seam in the sleeve."
• "Fleece looks slightly pilled out of the bag - after washing it got worse."
• "After buying this for my 12 year old. She wore it for a little over a week And it had a tear in the back of the inseam."

Value for Money

Pros:

• "Loved how many colors were available. So hard to keep from buying several."
• "These Amazon fleece jackets are a great value and look expensive!"
• "Didn’t expect much from an $8 jacket but actually love it. It fits well, warm but not too heavy."
• "I was really surprised when I got it, you cannot beat the price for the value."
• "I bought four of these fleece jackets because the price was unbeatable."
• "Got this jacket at a steal price of $6! I couldn’t be happier."
• "This was a bargain, I hoped, at $10."

Cons:

• "Unfortunately, the price had been raised to the point that it was no longer a good value to me."
• "The fleece did stink pretty badly with a chemical smell but I washed it so hopefully it will fade."
• "BUT it smelled like body odor when I opened the bag. It’s nauseating. Clearly someone returned after wearing and Amazon just stuck it back on the shelf smelling absolutely disgusting."
• "But the fabric smell about knocked me over when I opened the package."
• "Unfortunately it didn't even make it through half a day of wear without coming apart."
• "However, it looks ridiculous, it feels like plastic, and it offers very little warmth."
• "I thought this might have come from Ali Express when I saw it in person. It was extremely thin- (think dollar store Snuggie) and too small."

Design and Style

Pros:

• "I picked two different color. One is baby blue one is peach color, oh my god they're so nice. Looks so beautiful."
• "It has a flattering look and style to it."
• "I have several of these jackets in many colors and patterns and they’re better than the Columbia Benton Springs brand that costs much more."
• "The dark green is a lovely color and the seams make it flattering rather than boxy."
• "The color was as advertised, it was soft, and flattering."
• "The fleece fabric is soft and thick. The jacket is nicely tailored with princess seams making it a flattering cut for a woman."
• "I have lots of these types of jackets - Columbia, Patagonia, off-brands - this one is right up there with the best."

Cons:

• "It looks nothing like the advertisement. Extremely disappointed. Looks terrible on."
• "Got the 'bright coral' colour, on the screen it looks more like a lighter pink colour, in real life it is extremely bright!"
• "The neckline is low and puckered. The collar is about an inch too high for comfort."
• "The small was way too big, and the shape is very boxy so it made me look about 20 lbs heavier."
• "XL is too snug for 12/14 size. Wind blows through fibers. Not as thick as expected."
• "One sleeve is a little shorter than the other."
• "I went ahead and ordered the Aqua Blue and the color is entirely different to the picture - it's a very gaudy, vibrant shade and I didn't even take it out of the packet and sent it straight back."

Functionality and Features

Pros:

• "I love this sweatshirt. It is hard to find sweatshirts with zip pockets."
• "I love the zipper pockets. They are perfect for holding my phone, keys, i.d. when walking without worrying about losing anything."
• "And has inside pockets!! Fits true to size, and easily cleaned!"
• "I also love how there is an inside pocket on both sides-something that I've come to appreciate and require of my jackets over the years."
• "The pockets was big enough that I could put my phone in them and zip it up."
• "I love the zipper pockets, plus there is internal open pockets on the inside (on both side)."
• "I enjoy everything about this jacket: its softness, its two deep inner pockets—one on each side, the fact that its fitted, and that each outer side pocket zips."

Cons:

• "I ordered this item because it was listed as a 'Long-Sleeve Full-Zip Polar Soft Fleece Jacket' and was accompanied by a photo of a jacket with a full length zipper. What I received was a pullover with a short zipper at the neck - not a full length zipper."
• "The zipper is extremely cheap, and routinely unzips itself from the bottom up."
• "Love the fit. The zipper is junk and stuck from the first time I wore it. I still wear it but can’t use the zipper at all."
• "The zipper tongue protrudes out and doesn't lay flat."
• "The zipper is on the left - very awkward for the majority right-handed folks."
• "I do wish the inner pockets were a little bit wider as it can be a little bit of a tight fit to get my hand in and out of."
• "The only thing missing is a loop for to hang up the jacket."
