Overview
The Marmot Flair Hoody is a great, stylish, cozy women's fleece jacket. It’s hard to beat the soft furry feel, plus it has the added bonus of a snuggly hood, which not many fleeces have. If you are concerned about the way your outdoor gear fits, this is the most flattering women's fleece.

The Flair Hoody is one of the coziest and most comfortable fleeces reviewed. It also has the best cut and fit if you like more form fitting clothing. It is made out of a really plush and furry fleece, similar to the Mountain HardWear Monkey Phur, and I have taken to calling it “Muppet Fur,” because I do feel slightly like a Muppet when wearing this jacket. (In a good way, of course.) Also, it does have a hood, which most fleeces don't have as an option. The hood adds a great deal of warmth and comfort. Dislikes This is not a very technical or versatile fleece. It does not breathe very well, so don't use it for running. It is also not very lightweight or packable, so don't bring it on long days. Best Application This fleece is best as an around-town, cozy layer for the chilly months. Value At $100, this fleece is on the less expensive end of things. If you aren't looking for a really technical piece of clothing this is a really great all-around jacket for the price, plus it has a really great look and fit to it. Other Versions There is a version of this jacket without the hood called the Marmot Flair Video Review From Marmot — McKenzie Long
