The Burgeon Highlander Full Zip is a lightweight fleece midlayer made in New Hampshire from the brand's Cyberknit fabric. It adds a full-length zip to the pullover Highlander, so you can vent on a climb or wear it open under a shell. It packs down small and breathes well on hard efforts, which puts it alongside other packable fleece midlayers rather than insulated jackets. Owners rate it highly for warmth without bulk; the main caution is sizing, since Burgeon advises sizing up.
