Is the FX-1 warm enough for freezing mornings?

It uses 240GSM polar fleece with a full fleece lining, so it is built for cold dawns on a stand or boat. In deep winter or high wind, most people will still want a shell or base layer under it.

How many pockets does it have and where?

Seven: two on the chest, three on the arms and two on the back. All are described as accessible, so gear stays on you instead of in a bag.

Does the fleece stretch?

Yes. The fabric is 4-way stretch, so it moves with you when you climb, draw or reach overhead.

What is the double front zipper for?

It gives fast access, letting you open the jacket quickly without fully unzipping it. The zippers are stainless steel.

Can I put patches on it?

Yes. There are three velcro panels for patches.

Is it meant as a mid layer or an outer jacket?

Tundra positions it as a standalone cold-weather jacket, not a layering piece. It works as an outer layer in cold, dry conditions; add a shell over it in rain or heavy wind.
