A lightweight layer for crisp fall and spring days
Presented by the merchant as a light-heat layer for crisp cool fall and spring days, this high-pile fleece vest uses MTR fleece designed to conserve body heat, with a silicone finish that repels water. The standing collar is lined in the same soft fleece for extra coverage at the neck.[1,2]
Layering over a long-sleeve top
This sleeveless polar fleece vest works as a mid-layer over a long-sleeve shirt, as shown in the product images where the model wears it over a long-sleeve grey top. The standing collar zips up around the neck, and the straight hem falls to the hip. In the photos it is styled with matching fleece pants and a puffer jacket carried over the shoulder.[2,3]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Timber Crest Polar Fleece Vest: Choose this for crisp, cool fall and spring days when you want a light-warmth layer: its MTR fleece is designed to conserve body heat while staying lofty, and a silicone finish repels water to keep the fleece in good shape. It is a sleeveless regular-fit vest in soft, stretchy 100% polyester high-pile fleece, with a stand-up collar, full-length zip, snap-button piped hand pockets, and elastic waist trim. It is only shown in Black in sizes Medium through X-Large, and the matching pant is sold separately.[1,3] | Steens Mountain Zip Fleece Jacket: Choose this if you want a soft, mid-weight 250-gram polyester fleece for fall outings, day hikes, around camp, or in town, worn alone, as a baselayer, or as a mid-layer under a shell. It has zipped hand pockets, a high collar with full-length zip (with a pull tab loop that helps when wearing gloves), and a drawcord hem for a custom fit. Note it is bulky, does not pack down well, and one user found it not the warmest fleece, though it kept them warm under a hard shell in a California winter.[4,5,6,7,8] |
