Columbia West Virginia Mountaineers Flanker Fleece vs Columbia Women's Navy West Virginia Mountaineers Fireside II Sherpa Full-Zip Jacket

These are different garments for different wearers: the Flanker is a men's regular-fit microfleece with a full zip, zippered hand pockets and a drawcord hem, while the Fireside II is a women's sherpa fleece in navy. The Flanker is the more practical everyday layer, with pockets and an adjustable hem; the Fireside II is the warmer, softer-looking option for cold days. Note the Flanker listing here is a pre-owned size Large with a bald spot by the logo and chipped zipper paint, so a new one is the better buy if condition matters.

• Choose the Flanker if you want a men's full-zip microfleece with zippered hand pockets and a drawcord hem for layering.
• Choose the Fireside II if you want a women's sherpa fleece jacket that is warmer and softer than standard microfleece.
