"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I have been reaching for the High Pile Utility Fleece Jacket on cold mornings at the beach, and it is genuinely one of the warmest fleeces I own at this weight. The nylon reinforcement at the elbows and collar is a smart touch that gives it a more refined, durable feel than a standard pile fleece.""Cold mornings at the coast have a particular kind of bite, and the Florence Marine X High Pile Utility Fleece Jacket is the layer that takes the edge off without slowing you down. Whether you are heading to the water before the sun is fully up or wrapping up a long afternoon session with wind still in the air, the high pile fleece delivers the kind of warmth that settles in immediately and stays there. Classic alpine silhouette meets coastal practicality in a jacket that looks as deliberate as it feels. The details set it apart from a standard fleece. Nylon reinforcement at the elbows, forearms, and collar adds durability and structure in the spots that take the most wear, while the zippered chest pocket gives you a reliable home for a phone or sunglasses when you are moving between the water and wherever the day takes you next. Built from 100% recycled polyester and OEKO-TEX certified, the anti-pilling finish keeps the exterior looking clean through heavy rotation. It is a fleece built to last and earn its place in the lineup season after season."
