Eddie Bauer Mixed Media Fleece Jacket vs Eddie Bauer Quarter-Zip Mock Neck Fleece

Both are Eddie Bauer fleece layers, but they serve different jobs. The Mixed Media jacket is the better standalone outer layer: full zip, storm placket, chin guard, quilted chest and back panels, and a zippered chest pocket. The 1/4 Zip Mock Neck pullover is the better midlayer: a simple pull-on sweater fleece that layers under a shell and reads cleaner for office and casual wear. Owners rate the jacket slightly higher on fewer ratings, while the pullover has a much larger review base.

• Choose the Mixed Media Fleece Jacket if you want one jacket to wear outdoors on its own in fall and mild winter, with a full zip, a storm placket and real pockets.
• Choose the 1/4 Zip Mock Neck Pullover if you want a soft sweater fleece to layer under a coat or wear to the office, and you prefer a pull-on with no front zip.
