Poster: A snowHead

It's not cheap but, I assume, like their other stuff it's pretty good. Anyone here with first hand experience?

I'd like some feedback about RealFleece too.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

FlyingStantoni, thanks.
The Icebreaker website says it has got an interior zipper guard. The zipper on my current North Face fleece grabs at my neck/chin stubble and tries to rip the hairs out all the time. Would this zipper guard thingy on yours prevent that from happening?
Is it warm?
Is it comfortable?
What chest/waist size are you (if that isn't too personal), what size did you buy and how well does it fit you? E.g. a tight fit or a bit of slack in certain areas.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Walter-Spitty...
No annoying zipper rub. (I hate it when people wreck a perfectly good top with a crappily designed zip!)
Medium. 40/42" chest. Fit is comfortably snug without being too tight. It doesn't annoyingly ride up like the top it replaced. MrsFS used the term "slimming" - which I took to be encouraging
Tough question to answer on "is it warm" as I've worn it three times and it was effing freezing all three days (-22 in the car park one morning) and I was much more layered up than normal. I'm skiing this weekend and can confirm after that.

Which weight do you have...I believe they come in a 260 or 320 weight?
Do you have jacket or half zip? Any prefs on colours?
I also need a medium (chest) but I am tall (6'2"); what about length?
Unfortunately I can't try one on in the shop need to buy online...any idea where to buy them cheap?

FlyingStantoni, many thanks. I agree with you about crappily designed zips - I just don't understand why some brands are so useless at it. It's not as if it takes much brainpower or foresight to realise what is going to happen to people with a bit of stubble or a beard.
I usually don't buy products that are manufactured in China (because the rulers are scumbags and I hate them) but I might be persuaded on this occasion.
Snowman, there is comprehensive sizing information for the medium size on the following web page:
