Thank you for your interest in this item from among many others. This is a very warm fleece from Zivila. The cuffs are cinched, preventing cold air from entering. It's also easy to roll up the sleeves, making it convenient for cooking and water work. I wore it for one season and then stored it. There are no noticeable scratches, but there is a feeling of wear, so we are looking forward to your purchase if you understand. Thank you.
