How does the Specialist 1/4 Zip fit?

It is a loose fit, roomier through the body than a standard cut. If you want it closer to the body, size down.

Is it warm enough on its own?

It works as a midlayer in cold weather and as a light outer layer in cool, dry conditions. It is not windproof or waterproof, so add a shell for wind and rain.

Can I wear it for running or hiking?

Yes. The fabric wicks sweat and dries quickly, and the quarter zip lets you vent heat during hard efforts.

Does it have pockets?

It has one zip chest pocket. There are no hand pockets.

How should I care for it?

Machine wash cold and tumble dry low. Skip fabric softener, which can coat the wicking fibers.

Is it a good alternative to a fleece?

It is lighter and more sweater-like than most fleece, with better moisture handling. Fleece is warmer and more wind-resistant for the same weight.
