What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: "This is my favorite fleece for colder weather. It’s heavier than your average layer, super cozy, and the quarter zip lets me regulate heat when I’m moving. It looks clean enough for town but performs great on trail days too." When cold mornings call for a dependable layer, we pull on the Gordon Lyons 1/4-Zip Jacket from The North Face. This heavyweight fleece has a sweater-knit texture for warmth and casual appeal, while the technical build keeps us comfortable whether we’re heading out for a hike or layering up for a chilly commute. Made from a 53% recycled fabric blend, this fleece balances sustainability with long-lasting performance. The quarter-zip design allows for quick venting, and the raglan sleeves give us full range of motion whether we’re wearing it under a pack or relaxing by the fire. Details like a woven hem overlay, snap chest pocket, and elastic-bound finishes add both function and style to this cold-weather staple.
