Great Value - Really Warm
"I have a sleeved version of this jacket and love it however there were times I needed something that was warm but not quite so warm as the jacket and this is it. Working in the warehouse it keep the body toasty and doesn't over heat the arms. If you don't have one of these in your kit you better get one!"
