Crisp leaves crunch under your boots, ascending through scrub oak that arcs over the trail, and hues of amber, red, and canary yellow that cast a warm glow on the cool autumn air—fall may just be the most stunning time to explore the outdoors. When the summer heat has lifted its oppressive weight and icy gusts are yet to wiggle their way through to your core, pull on the North Face Gordon Lyons 1/4-Zip fleece pullover for the perfect shoulder season warmth.

Cozy polyester fleece insulates you but lets a bit of air through to keep you from overheating on your expeditions. Pair it with a down vest while you man the Dutch oven chili and babysit the cornbread over the fire or cast a line as the salmon return to their breeding grounds. Regardless of where you take it, this fleece offers classic style and warmth.
