The 100 KILO's mid-weight cotton fleece and double-faced hood are built for cold weather. The Covert is a midlayer meant to sit under a shell, so it adds less warmth on its own.

The Covert's recycled polyester fleece resists shrinkage and dries faster than cotton. The 100 KILO is durable but cotton fleece can shrink and hold moisture over time.

Which is better for travel?

The Covert. Its wool-like look and clean lines work in town, and polyester fleece packs and dries better than cotton.
