Outdoor Research Specter Pullover Fleece - Men's

 Brand : Outdoor Research
Item : ODR0191
Outdoor Research gave their Men's Specter Pullover Fleece a nylon face fabric to stand up to the abuse of hard days in the mountains. You won't have to worry about a two-mile North Cascades bushwack because of the durable, tightly-knit face fabric. The Specter Pullover's micro-polyester interior is incredibly soft and wicks away moisture, so you don't feel clammy. Use this Outdoor Research fleece pullover as a layering piece or wear it alone—it's happy as long as it's in the outdoors.

Outdoor Research Specter Pullover Fleece - Men's



Great shirt, but size down.
I expected this shirt to be similar to my MHW and REI power stretch (PS) zip t’s. The fit is baggier, more of a casual/relaxed fit rather than athletic. I usually wear size large but ended up exchanging it for a Medium which still fits looser than my PS shirts, especially in the sleeves. The material is also different. My PS shirts are 60% polyester and 30% nylon whereas this shirt is opposite. It does appear to have a heavier nylon face which should prove to be more durable and wind resistant, but also has less polyester fleece inside so it may not be as insulating. Overall quality looks great, the shirt is comfortable, and the fit is good after sizing down.


Versatile Layering Piece
Great layer. The slick nylon face sheds light rain and makes layering with fleece easy, i.e. no static and quick on and off in the sleeves. Breathes well, yet warm as 100-weight fleece, and a nice deep chest zipper for venting. A little pricey, but could take the place of several pieces of gear. Great for running, lounging, and hopefully skiing.


Some minor issues...
I have the previous version of this shirt. The PowerStretch is awesome, really warm. It's a great material. My only issue is the seam work. Flat lock seams feel nice but I think they are a bad choice for something as stretchy as powerstretch. I have already blown out two seams, one on the sleeve and one on the shoulder. This was due simply to the fabric stretching as I pulled it on. I just repaired them myself with needle and thread, but it's kind of sketchy for a $100 sweater. Otherwise love the styling and cut.
