I felt the same about that Effortless jacket. I ordered in that same color. It did absolutely nothing for me. I read so many reviews before ordering too. But when I put it on, those 2 front flaps were just odd to me. Very unflattering, kinda too short. Nothing special at all. I returned in store and got the Cross Chill. 😉which I really enjoy. I actually did run in it. Well jog. It did perform nicely. I did size up so I can fit layers under. So it moved around and made some noise when I jogged, but no big deal at all. The only slight con is if you wear fleece layers under it, when you put on and take off the jacket, everything gets stuck together in there, so the jacket won't just slide off. I get a little frustrated getting it all situated without turning it inside out. But if you wear a slippery material under, no problem, like a Swiftly.
The AEJ is a nice Florida winter jacket since it works well over a thicker sweater or crewneck. I returned my true size and ended up sizing down and cinch mine in so it’s more fitted. I actually like the coverings over the front pocket, but wish you could put stuff in both. I had a north face with a pocket on the front chest with no cover and my cards or keys everything looked bad sticking out.
Hello what are your thoughts on the insulated waterproof jacket? Also would you consider the cinchable fleece zip up instead of brown the ones you’ve tried?

how do the fleece jackets wash? does it shed or lose its fluffiness?
