The zip-necked Farley is a good length, but the sleeves are too tight, with no give in the fabric. Good high, snug collar, though. Difficult to wear as a mid-layer as the sleeves are too tight to go over anything else. Good warmth as a base-layer, though, and it dried quickly when wet. A decent-length zip, too.
Verdict A lightweight, budget-end fleece that makes a useful winter base-layer or a casual top. Better fitting sleeves would make it considerably more useful.
