Very lightweight and durable, dries extremely fast. Ive been using it on a regular basis and it shows very little signs of wear. Not quite warm enough to wear on its own under a shell on extremely cold days, if its below 0 I tend to wear it as a base layer

I bought this as a second layer for ski touring. Its very thin and breathes very well. It doesn't provide too much heat but the ligh fleece definitely is warmer than a base layer. It has a crazy deep zipper that is great for shedding heat. Its cut rather athletically and isn't very bulky which is great for storing in a pack.



I love to wear it around town as well. It looks great, provides me with a little extra warth under a rain coat and is an all around functional piece. I know its price but the Arcteryx quality is apparent. Great light fleece thats awesome for layering!

This lightweight fleece packs a lot of utility.



-- Light, but warm. Good as a midlayer or even as an extra thick base layer. Doesn't block the wind, but warm enough to be used as a jacket in the shoulder season.



-- Extra long zipper lets you dump heat when you need to... meaning better control and fewer wardrobe changes



-- Neck zips up high for warmth, but not high enough to interfere with other garments or restrict movement. Same deal with the sleeves: long enough to work, not so long as to interfere.



-- Looks great for around town use too. Really great fit ... even if you're not a waif.



-- Durable garment. I've worn mine hundreds of times and it still looks like new.



Pair this with a mid-weight Phase baselayer and you've got your shoulder season uniform completely handled.



Buy a couple. You'll want these in your permanent rotation.
