How warm is the Berne Heritage grid fleece hoodie?

Berne rates it Warmer on its own warmth scale. The gridded fleece traps heat but vents moisture, so it works as a mid-layer in cold weather or alone in cool weather.

Does it fit true to size?

It runs a tad small, and owners report it shrinks in the dryer. If you plan to tumble dry it or layer underneath, consider sizing up.

What is the interior pocket like?

There is one zippered pocket inside the front. Owners like it for a phone and keys, but note the diagonal outer pocket makes a phone hard to fit.

Can I wear it as an outer layer?

Yes. The heavy fabric, brass zipper and rib-knit cuffs and waistband hold up on their own in cool weather. In rain or wind, wear it under a shell.

One hoodie. The hood drawstring is attached; there is no sewn-in hanging loop.

How does it compare with a standard fleece hoodie?

It is warmer and heavier than a basic fleece hoodie, with a gridded lining and a metal zipper. The trade-off is bulk from the loose lining and a fit that runs small.
