Lightweight, comfortable fleece jacket made from recycled polyester with a subtly heathered appearance. It can be worn under a shell jacket or on its own. The fleece material is produced using an environmentally friendly process where the fibers are spun and dyed simultaneously. This method saves approximately 50 percent less water and 32 percent less energy compared to a conventionally produced fleece jacket. The reinforced G-1000 fabric in the shoulder area reduces friction under the shoulder straps of a backpack. It features a high collar that protects against biting winds, with a fleece flap for added protection between the zipper and chin. Two spacious zippered hand pockets. All zipper pull tabs are made from natural-colored leather.
