What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I've kept this stuffed in my pack on every fall hike since I got it, since it packs into its own pocket and takes up almost no room. The brushed fleece keeps me warm on chilly summits without ever feeling bulky under a shell."Some layers earn a permanent spot in the pack, and the Stretch Zion Fleece Full-Zip Hoodie has become exactly that for us. We zip it on at a windy trailhead, tie it around our waist once the sun climbs higher, and stuff it back into its own pocket without a second thought when it's time to keep moving. The recycled fleece fabric brings a brushed warmth that never feels heavy, whether we're hiking at elevation or just walking to the car on a cold morning. Stretch Zion elbow panels let us reach and scramble without the fabric fighting back, and elasticized cuffs and hem seal out drafts when the wind picks up. Zippered pockets at the chest and hands keep small essentials secure, and a chin guard behind the zipper means no more pinched skin on quick zip ups. It's the layer we forget we're wearing, until we need it and it's already there.
