The Challis is a low-pile fleece soft shell built for hunting, with a windproof membrane that cuts the chill during long glassing sits. It works as an outer layer in early season and as a mid layer under a shell when temperatures drop. Reviewers rate it highly for quiet fabric and packability, though some find the fleece thin for cold stand hunting and the fit trim through the shoulders. It sits between First Lite's heavier insulated jackets and its lightweight base layers, so it suits hunters who want one versatile piece rather than a dedicated cold-weather coat.

Owners rate the Challis highly, calling it a quiet, wind-cutting layer that earns a place in the pack on most hunts. Complaints center on the slim fit and on how little warmth it adds once temperatures drop.
The Challis Fleece Jacket is a low-pile, windproof soft shell from First Lite, part of its Western and Waterfowl assortments. It is designed as a layering piece for hunting throughout the seasons.
