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 that spins and dyes the fibers simultaneously. As a result, this model uses 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 pockets provide ample storage. All zipper pull tabs are made from natural-colored leather.
