Hi all, I’m looking for a full zip grid fleece jacket/sweater for traveling. I have been using a nano-puff jacket, but really prefer fleece for traveling. I like Patagonia stuff, and something similar to the R1 series is what I’m after, but the sizing on the R1 doesn’t work for me. I normally wear a medium, but I have broad shoulders, and have to size up in the R1, which makes the whole thing too baggy.
Any suggestions for other similar jackets?
Thanks!

The North Face is making a bunch of grid fleece tops.

Like this one:

there should be some new versions but i’m not sure.
