Burton Nova Fleece Jacket - Women's - 2009

I love this fleece. The price is a little outrageous and I'm anxious to see how it performs this winter, but the feel and the look alone... I am in love.

Got the Burton Nova fleece so I wouldn't have to keep wearing a tank, an overshirt, a fleece, a hoodie, and a down coat to get to the gym on cold days. The Nova fleece is so warm and soft I can just throw it on over my work-out tank.

The fit is slim, the arms are quite long, and there is a funny extra layer of cloth over the butt (but for someone with a flat booty it is actually helpful).

The only not-so-good thing about the Nova fleece is that the zipper placket is not black like the jacket, and the placket is not sewn down and can sometimes get in the way of zipping up.

I ordered this in black and didn't realize that it was so thick and fuzzy. I am 5'2" size 4-6 and this jacket was too long and snug from waist to hips. The length of the sleeves and placement of the shoulders was right for the size medium. I want to stuff the zip pockets and it would look like saddle bags if I put one thing in those containers. I sadly had to return the Burton Nova. If you like a tight body and not use the pockets then you may like this warm fuzzy bear.

This jacket feels like you are petting a cloud. When you put it on it feels like you are in a cloud.

The description of this jacket couldn't be more correct. It is so comfortable, soft and warm. The neck looked kind of short, but it comes up high enough to keep my whole neck warm on those infamous windy days. It makes for a great midlayer. I bought it in Capers and it is a cute olivey color, looks good with my blue shell. This jacket does run slim, especially around the hips. I can usually wear a small jacket if I don't plan on layering more than one shirt underneath, but even so it still felt a little bit tight. I ordered both a small and medium and I kept the medium and returned the small. The only draw back is that it sheds a little bit.

Love it! Basic fleece...good second layer because it's not too thick!
