Columbia West Virginia Mountaineers Flanker Fleece vs Columbia Men's Gold West Virginia Mountaineers Field Bound Omni-Tech Full-Zip Jacket

The Field Bound Omni-Tech is the better jacket for most shoppers: it is waterproof, hooded, packable and built for actual weather. The Flanker fleece is a lighter midlayer with a roomier 32-inch back length and a drawcord hem, but the specific listing here is a used size Large with fleece missing near the logo and chipped zipper paint. Buy the Flanker only if you want a cheap team fleece for mild days and can accept wear; otherwise step up to the Field Bound.

• Choose the Flanker fleece if you want a soft, simple Mountaineers layer for cool, dry days and are fine with a pre-owned jacket that shows damage.
• Choose the Field Bound Omni-Tech if you need rain protection, a hood and a jacket that packs into its own pocket.
