What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I've been reaching for this cardigan on cool spring evenings around town, and the open front with side slits makes it easy to throw on over anything without feeling bulky. The two patch pockets are perfect for keys and my phone when I don't want to bother with a bag."There's a particular kind of spring morning when the air still bites but the sun promises otherwise, and that's exactly when the Sierra Springs Cardigan earns its spot on the coat hook. At Backcountry, we love pieces that work as hard as the season does, and this open-front layer moves with you from porch to trailhead without a second thought. The Harding pattern across the back and sleeves brings a little heritage character to an otherwise easy layer, while the side slits keep every step loose and unrestricted, whether you're chasing the dog around the yard or settling into a camp chair with coffee in hand.
