Chuck Roasts Fleece jackets are just amazing. I have one jacket on its 4th year of high use service. You just can't any more than that from kids clothes.
The quality starts with 200 weight Polar Fleece, the warmest of the polar fleece line. This stuff is remarkable in terms of its weight to warmth ratio. Also Polar Fleece seems to pile less than other fleece materials over time.
Of course what really seperates Chuck Roast jackets from everyone else is the craftsmanship. The zippers used are top notch and just don't wear down. The same is true for the elastics used aroung the waiste. In four years of use we have no seen 1 stitch come loose so this coat is just well made. So well made it comes with a lifetime warranty.
You might pay a bit more for a Chuck Roast fleece jacket, but they are worth it.
