 Columbia SportswearUnisex Hemlock Ridge Pullover Fleece Jacket, Columbia Navy, X-Large $45.00 I bought this item ahead of a campout in 10-degree weather, and it performed magnificently. The fit was really great, even larger than I anticipated, and the material is outstanding to keep you warm in a sleeping bag on a really cold night. It zips up all the way, right up to your chin, and during the day the zipper comes down to a little bit above your navel, with the collar staying up well to block the wind. The zipper tab is a heat-fused Columbia tag, which is just the right size to grab easily with a gloved hand, yet is not so big that it's in the way. The zipper moves easily and with no binding. The bottom hem is substantial, but not elastic, nor does it have a drawstring. My only complaint with this pullover is that the elastic cuffs are a bit too efficient. When worn all the way down--long sleeve--the cuffs do their job perfectly, not too tight, with just the right fit. When it's cold, they keep all the warmth inside the sleeve. But, when I pull the cuffs up to my forearms or below my elbows, that elastic is too tight, and I have to pull them down after a short time. All in all, this is a great, sturdy product at a good price. It'll keep you warm, no doubt. I'd like the cuffs to be just a little less elastic, but I'll probably buy another in the future anyway.  A MIGHTY FORTRESS: Lead Bomber Over Europe $19.95 For generations who did not experience WWII, this is a beautiful story that can take you into the heart and mind of a courageous, inspired and brave young man named Charles Booth Alling.
