Haven’t seen much info on these, so I didn’t know what to expect with fleece that is 79% Nomex. Fabric weight and feel is very similar/same as “normal” fleece, but even softer, with nice abrasion-resistant patches on the elbow/forearm area. No exterior pockets, but 2 nice big mesh pockets on the inside. The 3 I received look nearly new. Was mainly looking for a jacket that I could wear around campfires w/o getting holes in it.
