This is my favourite single piece of clothing. It’s been a top seller at Mountain Equipment Coop for years.
Just about everyone else in Canada owns at least one. (I have four.)

MEC check fleece top – my #4
I also want to recommend my new MEC Hydrofoil Jacket: C$99 (US$88). It’s the best I’ve ever owned.

Mine is blue, and with a zip
but I agree it is great – and you are not officially Canadian unless you own one!
