Our Verdict
This is my preferred fleece type for most outdoor activities, especially hiking and camping; it’s not a technical fit, meaning has a little more room and a little more give. It’s definitely more suited to warm weather, but this would be the perfect layer on a nice summer’s day with a little breeze; it’s also a good additional layer around the campsite for an instant layer of warmth, low profile thumb holes are a nice touch, that helps cinch the flees on cool evenings.
The grid-backed fleece promotes good airflow, keeping you cool and moving moisture away from the body, the feels soft against your skin so would be comfortable to wear as a base-layer or a mid-layer The fleece has three zipped pockets, two hand-warming pockets and a chest pocket. All are mesh lined, which again promotes good airflow, and all are positioned to be accessed with a rucksack on.
