Never heard of blue fleece, but the purple ones we get are crap. Zip knacks straight away if you're not careful.

I've had two fleeces first one got torn when I caught it on a fence, got a replacement and am still using it. I've not had any problems with the zips, maybe it's a dodgy batch?

Only slightly better than not wearing one, the wind goes straight through mine, and the patch pockets are a waste of time when you have to wear a Hi-vis
