I bought my first Cloudveil Neve for a trip to Alaska to photograph the Iditarod, (See the accompanying photo. That's my black Neve under the Resolute parka.) and it has become my all time favorite "fleece" zip pullover. Unlike some better-known pullovers of this type, the fabric is fantastic, featuring a very tightly looped and ribbed weave. This weave allows the shirt to conform to your movements.
With a lightweight thermal undershirt and a Canada Goose Resolute parka, the Cloudveil Neve kept me warm and cozy in temperatures ranging from -10 to +10 Fahrenheit on the streets of Anchorage and later on the frigid shores of Kachemak Bay.
Only two cons... and these may not apply to you. 1. I felt that the medium (I should always go for the large) was an inch or two short. But then I have a large chest for my height. 2. A small area of the bottom hem stitching came unraveled after about 10 wearings and gentle washings.. No big deal -- I know how to use a sewing machine -- but still bothersome.
Overall, an excellent pullover, supremely comfortable, and not just for Alaska, but for
anywhere from California to Maine that gets a bit chilly.
