Amazon Essentials Full Zip Fleece X Small Reviews Summary

Fit and Comfort

Pros:

• "It fits well, is soft, and looks flattering."
• "The large fits me perfectly so I assume this has a more masculine cut, but the overall styling is pretty gender neutral."
• "Fits nicely, little loose around the wrist but overall it’s good."
• "Size-wise, it runs true to your size and is perfectly tailored in the arms, chest, and shoulders."
• "The sleeves are the right length and are not tight. The shoulders and chest are roomy and fit just right."
• "This jacket is made to curve down past my hips and it completely covers me in back."
• "The line is nice too it neither completely conceals nor totally reveals anything, it just hangs very nicely from shoulders to hips without any fuss."

Cons:

• "The bottom hem always comes undone."
• "I usually wear a size large and bought an XL for some extra room and this runs extremely small."
• "Tall large fits like a regular x-large. Baggy in the chest and waist."
• "I wear a women's XL so bought a men's XL to have it roomy. Even the sleeves were too tight to wear."
• "Bought husband a large. He sometimes wears a medium but bought large because he likes to layer. This was extremely small."
• "I found this jacket to be very comfortable and soft, however it was too baggy on me around the waist."
• "It is a little snug around the middle. I like for it to be a little roomy around the middle."

Quality and Durability

Pros:

• "This full zip fleece jacket is made really well. It is made just right and fits very well."
• "The sewing from VietNam is very high quality."
• "I have washed it dozens of times and it has held up quite well (it still looks new)."
• "The material is soft and warm. Very fashionable ad well made."
• "The interior of the pockets is made or at least lined with the same fleece that the jacket is made of which is awesome."
• "These are easy on, easy off, stashes nearly anywhere, and easily replaced if destroyed."
• "The jacket is made from medium light polar fleece that is very soft and warm."

Cons:

• "Not good quality - after only a month this item is starting to rip, stitches are coming out - poor quality."
• "The cuffs are a joke, the stitching is fine, it will probably hold up for a year but the sewing pattern is the design of a 5 year old."
• "The jacket has zero style, is not very soft for fleece, and the cuffs get loose with just a few washes."
• "after 1 wash it's showing 'bare' areas that i would expect after wearing it for a 2 years."
• "The stitching on the right side over the pocket came apart."
• "The hem of the sleeve, around the wrist, came unsewn and unraveled easily. The jacket was unwearable after a short amount of time."
• "The only reason I’m rating 3/5 stars is because this was ordered on 12/18/19 and didn’t arrive until 1/5/20."

Value for Money

Pros:

• "And at this price, it would be hard to find one half this nice."
• "Can’t beat the price point and style/quality."
• "For $16 bucks you get a well made jacket."
• "I bought for arround $15 each and I'm really impressed by the quality per price."
• "It’s super affordable, I got it on a flash sale for 9 bucks!"
• "A real bargain, no complain at all."
• "The clearance price was remarkable."

Cons:

• "For a jacket called 'Amazon Essentials', I expected a high-quality product. Nope."
• "Very disappointed how the quality of Amazon items has gone down in the past 2 years."
• "Starting to expect poor quality from Amazon Basics products."
• "You get what you pay for. I’ve had this fleece a while but in the past year it’s starting to fall apart and the polyester fibers are coming out."
• "I would not buy this brand again, ever."
• "Have bought 3 previous Amazon Essentials zip fleece (i.e. this exact model just different colors) jackets over a couple years. Each successive item has been a reduction in quality."
• "This is a basic fleece, but the zipper only lasted a year."

Zipper Functionality

Pros:

• "The zipper works well without binding."
• "The jacket has a high quality zipper, the material is soft and just the right thickness."
• "The front zipper is sturdy and easy to use even in the cold."
• "Zippers are good, seams are perfect."
• "It worked better than I thought it would. Is this a fleece to sit outside in the freezing cold standing around for hours? Absolutely not. But if you are just going from your home, to the car, to the store and back, this fleece is more than adequate for the job."
• "The zipper is a little difficult to get started."
• "The zipper is flawless and the comfort, fit and stretchiness makes it like a second skin."

Cons:

• "The zipper broke separated from the bottom and half way up. Now it's stuck there."
• "After 5 months the zipper has already failed on one of them."
• "Update after a year plus of use. The zipper is garbage and is basically useless."
• "However, the zipper is really flimsy! It pulls apart every time I bend over."
• "The only problem with this jacket is that the zipper is a bit flimsy."
• "The zipper is defective. This was a birthday gift for my husband but every time he wears it he needs me to get him out of it because the zipper splits from the bottom."
• "Wore it only few times and the zipper doesn’t work right. You have to pull insanely hard and sometimes the zipper separates."

Design and Style

Pros:

• "The color is really good."
• "I loved the red touch in it as its my fav color."
• "The grey color and especially the contrasting black color-block detail is all super handsome to my eye, could hardly be better."
• "Fits nice in all the right areas so it definitely looks more expensive than it is."
• "The material is soft and thick. The simple design allows him to wear it to work and look professional with it on."
• "I love the turquoise color, I wish Amazon had more of these jackets in brighter colors."
• "The green jacket color was not the green I was looking for so I gave it to a friend."

Cons:

• "The only thing I'll say is the style I got has two red zipper 'tags' and I think it looked tacky having both so I cut off the one from the main zipper."
• "The jacket has zero style, is not very soft for fleece, and the cuffs get loose with just a few washes."
• "I usually wear a size large and bought an XL for some extra room and this runs extremely small in addition the blue is not cobalt just a regular dark sky blue."
• "Feels a little icky (like chemicalish) but I’m very picky tactile person so for most people prob. a non-issue."
• "Color is nice and deep, quality looked ok until a seam opened up after the 3rd wash."
• "A nice jacket. Good price. However, it is a little long for someone who is short waisted."
• "It needs to be clear that there is zip up pockets on the thing, it doesn’t need pockets, I’m trying to get away from the whole hoodie look."
