A smart shopper plans ahead and looks for the best deals always. Given the warmer days are approaching, I won't use this on the daily. However, from the first day of trying this flannel on I can confirm it is extremely comfortable! Are always looking for a light jacket or windbreaker just in case the weather drops? Try this instead and know it'll be a safe pick. This is thicker than just a button-down shirt but not as yet a sweater. It serves as a good hybrid between the two options. My recommendation is to have something like this and just keep it in the car for nights you are out and about and want something to brush off the breeze or keep cozy in a cooler environment.
