Amazon Essentials Womens Full Zip Fleece Reviews Summary

Fit and Size

Pros:

• "Loved how this jacket fit! I ordered a size medium and it worked out great!!"
• "Figure flattering and yet NOT boxy in size XS while still soft cozy."
• "Fit as expected."
• "It fits well, and is flattering."
• "Fit perfectly."
• "I am 5'2, 105 pounds and the extra small fits very well."
• "As a busty girl I need to make sure I could zip the jacket which I was able to with the size that I purchased."

Cons:

• "but it runs very small."
• "Amazon and size chart suggested I get a Large. I wish I had sized up. The jacket is a little tight for my liking."
• "The only thing I didn't like about it was that it catches dust real fast."
• "It would barely zip all the way, and was uncomfortably tight around the chest and hip areas."
• "The jacket was a little tight."
• "The sizing is a bit tight for winter layering over a cotton turtleneck."
• "The Small was way too long and not flattering around the waist/hips area because it just 'hung' with not much shape."

Quality and Durability

Pros:

• "The quality is great. The weight is a bit more than Land's-e*nd lightweight fleece."
• "Seems very well made."
• "It's been washed a bunch of times with no shrinking and the softness has stayed intact."
• "Excellent product. Well made. Holds up to washing and drying."
• "I’ve washed it quite a bit and it’s held up well."
• "I've washed it twice now and it comes out like new."
• "This is definitely one of the better quality ones I've had- right up there with my Columbia or North face jackets- so for the price, it's a steal."

Cons:

• "The zippers have all become hard to zip, with the main one breaking completely."
• "Bought this jacket for work... Unfortunately The quality of the jacket is poor, there’s a hole in the sleeve after only a few months of gentle wear."
• "The elbows are starting to thin and the threads are coming loose."
• "However all that means nothing because the zipper keeps pulling apart at the bottom."
• "The zipper failed from what looks like a defect."
• "Only had this jacket for little over a month and already the sleeve elastic came off."
• "So soft and warm. Looks very cute but since I’m a nurse I need to wash it at least once a week and I've had it one month and the sleeves already ripped at the seam."

Comfort and Warmth

Pros:

• "This keeps me very warm in fall and winter months."
• "very soft, warm and nice color."
• "It is super soft and comfortable, especially being light weight."
• "It's a pretty good quality material and really warm specially for winters here in the midwest."
• "Very great for work. Nice and soft."
• "It provides me with so much warmth!"
• "Soft, warm, cozy and fits like a personalized blanket just for me!"

Cons:

• "Not as warm as some of the reviews suggest."
• "It's tough to wear another long sleeve top under this without wrinkles and tightness."
• "Its a nice jacket but I bought it to wear on top of short sleeve scrub top and its to heavy and thick for that."
• "It's a bit too narrow, and feels too tight."
• "But it is thin. The fabric at the collar and the front part where pockets are located are very thick, though."
• "The fleece lined sleeves, while very comfortable, are difficult to put on over a long sleeved shirt."
• "The fleece just feels like a cheap fabric used in discount stores."

Design and Style

Pros:

• "Unlike seemingly identical fleece jackets or vests of other brands, the *cut* of this one is just plain sexy."
• "Very cute fit. It tapers your shape."
• "Flattering A Line type of cut; soft material."
• "Its cut in a flattering shape as well."
• "The cut is figure flattering--hits a bit above mid-hip and nips in at the waist, unlike some other brands of fleece."
• "Bought this jacket and was splendidly surprised with how beautiful it fits and how soft it is."
• "It's soft, comfortable, fits perfectly, and has outstanding zippered pockets that fit a cell phone."

Cons:

• "Always, they make women's sides with narrow shoulders."
• "They're long and very hourglass-shaped, which usually works for me, but not in this case."
• "The jacket is very soft and seems warm; it’s nice quality, but the fit/cut is awkward."
• "The fleece is a bit heavy to call it light-weight, and that makes it a tad bit stiffer than a true light-weight fleece would be."
• "It was not soft, but crunchy to the touch."
• "The pockets are very bulky and it makes your waist line look like you’re carrying 20 extra pounds."
• "My only comment is that the princess seaming didn't seem very pronounced."
