    Hey Phil! That certainly is an awesome looking fleece and everyone should have a good fleece for those cold winter days. I love all of the pockets for carrying things. Have a great weekend! 😊👍37

    Hi Phil. I enjoyed your review of the jacket. I like that it has the little extra part on the hood to keep the sun out of your eyes. It looks good and lots of little pockets which is great. 👍😊🇨🇦

      @@PhilipOlsen11 My IT channel is doing well, and really needs me to get back to doing more with that. My photography channel is producing strange results, views going up, subs going up, watch time fairly static (slightly down). It often makes me feel like throwing in the towel and just giving up and just concentrating on the IT channel. I am very appreciative of your support and others that have stayed with me. How’s your watch time going?

      @@DavidLudlowPhotography that’s very strange and such a shame too. My watch time is 930hrs 😬. The reason it is what it is, is because one review has 7k+ reviews and still growing.
      Apart from that it would probably be half.
      Please don’t throw in the towel. It’ll get there 👍

    Hi Phil I see you changed your channel name 🙂👍
    Informative review. I love fleeces so much, I have quite a lot and this looks great, nice and warm, liked the pockets on the arm with the tags, good for phones and I liked the colour too. Good to have elastic waist that you can tighten to keep the wind out.
    I'm with you on the vent, I'm not keen, I have one on a waterproof jacket and the wind blows in so it was good that you gave a good honest review 👍~ Anna

    As always, clear and descriptive information.
    Your honesty is appreciated
    For my curiosity, what is cleaning instruction?
    Dry cleaning?
    Had wash? etc
    The fabric, Fleece usually can't withstand washing at very high temperatures, tumble drying or ironing.
    Another word, its appearance looks old.
    Great work, Phil.

    Hi Phil great review! Looks a great Jacket love how it still looks in good Nick even though you have had it over a year and it’s been well worn!

    Hey Phil, have a look at the Patriot version of this fleece, instead of the vent panels under the arms it has zippers you may prefer that £70 slightly more expensive but it also comes with velcro sleeve fasteners rather than the elasticated cuffs on yours I've had mine in black for a good 5 years and it's still going strong... worth thinking about if you are looking for the same kind of thing ..
