Winter means warm layers, and these two great fleeces from Jack Wolfskin are versatile and functional for all your winter needs.
The Hydro Grid Fleece is a great midlayer fleece that keeps you warm and dry without affecting your mobility. Made of Nanuk Dynamic BiGrid DWR, this fleece is water-resistant, moisture-wicking, stretchy, and insulating. Perfect for summits where the temperatures drop, the jacket includes a chest pocket, two hip pockets, a fixed hood, internal cuffs, and articulated elbows that help with mobility and prevent tearing. The jacket is available in Men's (Sizes S-XXXL) and Women's (Sizes XS-XXL).
The High Cloud Fleece, on the other hand, is perfect for morning walks, errands, or putting on for your post-hike lunch! Reminiscent of the Patagonia Retro Pile fleece, the High Cloud Fleece is warm and soft with a brushed reverse side for extra comfort. The jacket includes two zipped hand pockets, a full-lenght front zip for wind protection, and is made with Nanuk 200 Sherpa, a soft fleece with a brushed reverse side.
