I took a punt on a softshell fleece from a company on ebay. I've bought loads of stuff from China over the years, mostly good with a few exceptions. This was one of the exceptions...rather than good it was utterly exceptional!
Softshell fleece, extremely well made (i methodically check all the stitching, zips etc before I even try something on). Lots of nice little features like zipped pocket on the back, adjuster cords for everything. It's a perfect fit (ordered one size up from UK sizes). I've seen similar fleeces but not as great quality for £70 upwards. Mine was £22.
Was straight out for a long walk in the woods yesterday. Kept the wind out, rain off and withstood two manic hounds climbing over me. It also survived it's first trip in the washing machine (always a but of a nervous time). Rather than just a walkning jacket, I can see this becoming my mainstay everyday jacket.
