"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: ""I use the Fleece Light Jacket any time I need an active layer that won’t overheat. It stretches effortlessly when climbing or scrambling, breathes extremely well, and the merino interior keeps temperature steady even when effort spikes. It’s one of those layers that works across a huge range of conditions."" We rely on the Fleece Light Jacket when versatility matters most. Designed by Ortovox as a true all-round alpine layer, it moves seamlessly between sunny ridgelines, technical pitches, and relaxed moments at camp. Lightweight and highly breathable, it delivers warmth without bulk, making it easy to wear all day without constantly adjusting layers. The Merino Fleece Light fabric places soft merino wool directly against the skin for excellent moisture management and natural temperature regulation, while added stretch ensures unrestricted movement through every reach, scramble, and tool placement. A soft protective collar and thumb loops add extra coverage when temperatures dip, and two front pockets keep essentials close. Made in Europe and built for constant motion, the Fleece Light Jacket is a dependable staple for mountain days that demand comfort, mobility, and balance."
