One shopper said: "Super cosy! This fleece is the cosiest thing I've ever had. Super comfortable and cosy, ideal for working from home when you don't want the heating on in the whole house. Great for wearing on a walk as well. I would definitely size up as others have said, it's quite short."

A second fan said: "Very cosy fleece. I'm very pleased with this fleece. It's so warm and comfortable. I love the colour - seems to go with everything!" And Irene wrote: "Great quality and is value for money. This is very comfortable and cosy. I bought as an easy jacket to wear in the car. This is ideal."

One happy customer wrote said: "A wow of a fleece jacket. Just absolutely lovely! Just like other reviewers I just adore this very warm and snuggly fleece but it's just so much more than a fleece, it really is more of a jacket. I've been wearing it out over a jumper and has kept me nice and warm, I purchased the grey version ... I love it so much, I'd love the other colour too."

Someone else put: "Very warm, comfortable and stylish. Perfect for indoor and outdoor use. Well made and washes well." And another shopper said: "Handy fleece. Just what I needed for this time of year - warm, cosy and lightweight. Would buy another in a different colour."

Some people complained that the sleeves were too short, as one reviewer wrote: "Sleeves too short for me. Lovely jacket, but with all M&S jackets and long sleeve clothes, the sleeve is too short so I had to return it."

The Borg Lightweight Funnel Neck Jacket is available to buy for £35 on the M&S website, where it's available in a choice of grey, spice and dark navy. Alternatively, this Borg Bomber Jacket from Next is priced at £38, while Roman's Soft Sherpa Fleece Jacket comes in five colours and costs £30.
