As an Amazon Associate, Trailkit Outdoor earns from qualifying purchases. Full disclosure
Fleece still works when it is damp, which is why it stays in the kit after you buy a fancy puffy. It is bulky. Wear it or strap it outside. A grid fleece is a later upgrade if you want the same job in a smaller bundle.
Who should buy it. Beginners building a layering system.
Best for. A first hiking fleece
Standout limitation. Not packable, not a shell
