this fleece has it all!

By canderey1020316 October 1, 2011

The MH Mistral is the best fleece I've found so far! I love that Mistral blocks most of the wind but is still breathable, has an attached hood, wrist gaiters and a draw-cord waist! Good zippers, zipper pulls, chin guard. Zippers are essential on pockets and Mistral has them! It is super soft on the outside - without it catching too much hair or fuzz. It is so snuggley-cozy! If you want windproof, the MH Countess fleece is the best - but doesn't have the hood or the gaiters and somewhat restricts arm movement with its thick, conduit layer. I am 5'9" 155lbs, and went with a size large and it fit well - sleeves are long enough, etc. -And it has the draw-cord, so it's very adjustable!
