Is the Hart Mountain II warm enough for winter?

It is a midweight fleece, best as a midlayer under a jacket in winter. On its own it suits cool fall and spring days, not freezing weather.

How does it fit compared with other Columbia fleeces?

It runs roomy and boxy, similar to Columbia's casual fleeces. If you want a trimmer fit, size down or look at the Steens Mountain line.

No. The Hart Mountain II has no hand pockets, only the chest half-zip. If you want pockets, the Steens Mountain full-zip has them.

Yes, machine wash cold and tumble dry low. Wash it inside out and skip fabric softener to limit pilling.

The II is the updated version with the same half-zip design and fleece blend. Changes are minor, mainly fit and fabric feel.

Yes as a light layer for cool-weather hikes. It is not windproof or water resistant, so bring a shell for exposed or wet trails.
