Review for model:

A warm sweatshirt made of pleasant fleece, comfortable to wear. The zipper at the neck does not cause any scratching. Good cut, comfortable for hiking. I can recommend it with a clear conscience.

Very comfortable and surprisingly warm fleece, I'm happy with the bargain price, the front pocket is very useful, of course, the size matches the description. The only downside is the lack of a drawstring at the bottom…

Warm fleece, a necessary purchase for the upcoming autumn as an outer layer, and in winter for extra warmth under a jacket. Good quality material, pleasant to the touch and durable.

A simple and warm fleece in a pleasant shade of green. The material is of good quality; after several washes, there are no signs of pilling. A very nice option for cooler days.

Simple, very well-made fleece (perfect seams, no loose threads = Columbia quality). The color is more of a 'cool' graphite than black, but that's a plus for me. As for the sizing, at 180cm and 70kg, size M fits perfectly—it's an everyday/tourist fleece, not a tight outfit for running. The only downside is that when opened, it smells terribly of the sewing factory (if you've been there, you know what I mean: the smell of machine oil and metal shavings—it's almost pleasant but still quite intense). I haven't come across a new piece of clothing that smelled this strongly in a long time, but after a few hours of airing out, it's better. After washing, the smell should definitely disappear.

Express delivery, for which I'd give a 5. The fleece itself is fine; the only drawback is the sizing is a bit large. I took an M at 178cm height and about 73kg weight, and it's loose. Until now, I've never had to buy size S, but here it might have been a better fit. It's not a disaster, though, so I'm keeping the fleece.
