Unfortunately, the fleece looks better in photos than in reality. The design is really nice, but the 'black' color leans toward graphite, giving the impression that the garment is a bit faded. The stand-up collar is quite loose. The lack of drawstrings makes it impossible to cover your neck, so a scarf or bandana will be an essential accessory on cold days. The cuffs have cheap elastic bands sewn in.... Contrary to the product description, due to the VERY thin material, this fleece is not suitable for wearing alone on cold days—tested at 5°C. As an insulating layer, however, it should work very well. The price... definitely exaggerated, and the quality is reminiscent of cheap Chinese products. I did not expect Columbia to release something so poor. I received this fleece as a gift, so I can't really return it, but I am disappointed. (+) nice design, very lightweight, used as an insulating layer under a jacket. (-) very thin material, no drawstrings at the neck, elastic bands in the cuffs, PRICE!
Columbia Basin Butte II Hybrid Fleece Jacket - Dark Mountain/Black
Constructed from 100% rugged polyester, this zippered fleece features quilted panels insulated with Microtemp XF II synthetic fill, and a lining enhanced by Omni-Heat Thermal Reflective technology. Functions effectively as an insulating mid-layer beneath a jacket or can be worn alone as a warm sweatshirt.
Microtemp XF II insulation, Omni-Heat technology
The outer layer utilizes Anti Pill Solid Microfleece polyester fabric, weighing 225 g/m2, offering durability and softness. The upper torso incorporates quilted panels with Microtemp XF II synthetic insulation at 40 g/m2, delivering efficient thermal performance even in damp conditions.
An inner Omni-Heat thermoreflective lining uses a unique “matrix” of aluminum dots to enhance thermal management by reflecting and retaining body-generated heat. In cold environments, the aluminum dots efficiently reflect warmth back to the body, while in warmer or high-activity conditions, excess heat is released, helping to maintain optimal temperature and comfort.
Zipper closure, elastic ribbing
Equipped with a full-length zipper closure, the sweatshirt features a high collar and elastic cuff ends for enhanced cold weather protection.
Zippered pockets
The Basin Butte II features two hip pockets, each secured with a zipper.

Thin, seems quite warm. I've only used it for a short time, so I don't know yet how much lint will stick to it. The downside is the zipper, which is very low quality and poorly finished. It has already gotten stuck several times, and I feel that after a maximum of 2 months of use, it might need to be replaced.

This is already my second Polar from this company and of this model. The fleece is thin but very warm, and most importantly, even after washing, it still works perfectly. I think the price is adequate for the quality, so sometimes it's better to pay a little more and enjoy using it for a very long time.

The sweatshirt is of very good quality and excellently made. It is very warm and, above all, elegant. It suits a variety of styles, which makes it universal, and you can confidently wear it even to work. I recommend it.

A good quality fleece, relatively thin, light, but warm. It doesn't attract pet hair, as often happens with other fleece sweatshirts. It is a bit costly, but you can feel the premium quality of the product.
