Women's Performance Fleece Jacket with 4 Pockets - Short Zip

Our review of the Women's Performance Fleece Jacket with 4 pockets finds it best for healthcare professionals who need a light, warm layer over scrubs that still looks neat after long shifts. The single biggest reason to buy is the balance of warmth and low bulk: the fleece lining provides noticeable warmth without the heaviness of a full coat, so it works well for fluctuating indoor temperatures. The short 26in length and zip front make it easy to put on and remove between tasks, and the Missy fit gives a tailored look over uniforms.

Key Features

• Warmth and comfort: The fleece lining adds warmth on cold office days without excessive bulk so you stay comfortable for long shifts.
• Practical pockets: Four different pockets, including patch, welt, interior and in-seam pockets, keep essentials organized and close at hand.
• Stylish details: Knit details, side panels and front princess seams create a flattering silhouette that complements professional attire.
• Easy on and off: A full zip front and 26in short length make the jacket quick to don or remove between appointments.
• Durable fabric: 100% polyester performance fleece with 2-way stretch resists wear and washes while allowing freedom of movement.
• Convenient extras: A hair tie zipper pull and hidden pockets add small but useful touches for daily work life.

Who It's For

This jacket is a fit for nurses, medical assistants, and other clinical staff who want a lightweight, warm layer over scrubs that still presents a tidy, professional look. The Missy fit and 26in length suit those who prefer a shorter jacket that does not interfere with pocket access on scrub pants.

Those who need heavy insulation for outdoor work or a very roomy, oversized outer layer should look elsewhere; likewise anyone wanting natural fibers or a very formal blazer-style jacket will find polyester fleece is a different, more casual choice.
