The Steens Mountain is Columbia's basic full-zip fleece, made of mid-weight polyester filament fleece with two zippered hand pockets and a stand-up collar. It is a layering piece, not a weather shell: it traps warmth, dries fast and packs flat, but wind cuts through it and light rain soaks it. It suits hikers, commuters and cold-office wearers who want a cheap, hard-wearing midlayer under a shell. Rivals like The North Face Glacier and Patagonia Better Sweater feel softer or look smarter, but the Steens is the plainest and most utilitarian of the group, and owners report years of use from it.

Owners treat the Steens Mountain as a reliable, no-frills fleece that lasts years for the money. Most praise the warmth-to-weight ratio and the zippered pockets; complaints center on pilling, a loose fit and the lack of wind protection.
