Is this fleece warm enough for winter?

It works as a warm midlayer in cold weather, but it is not windproof or water-resistant. Pair it with a shell for wind, rain or deep cold.

Some owners report shedding and pilling over time. Wash it cold on a gentle cycle and air dry to limit both.

It has a loose, straight cut designed for layering. If you want a closer fit, consider sizing down.

Yes for cool, dry hikes and camp. It is bulky and not weatherproof, so it is a poor choice for wet or fast-moving alpine days.

One fleece jacket. Base layers and shells shown in photos are sold separately.

The sherpa is warmer and cozier but bulkier and less packable. A grid or smooth fleece breathes better and stuffs smaller for active use.
