Our Granite Spire Fleece Pullover is made with fleece that's hard-faced on the exterior and lofted on the interior. This construction yields a layer that is very wind-resistant while remaining breathable, that dries quickly, and is quite warm. With an exterior that's knitted with heavier-gauge yarns than the typical soft-shell fleece, its resistance to abrasion is exceptional. The forearms are reinforced with a layer of Cordura® nylon for additional protection. Elastic binding at the hem, hood, and cuffs seal out cold wind while helping create a custom fit. The half-length front zipper extends to the sternum for ventilation. The center hand pocket is lined with microfleece for comfort and warmth, and secures with sturdy zippers. Our Granite Spire Fleece is far warmer in windy conditions than standard fleece, more breathable than soft shells with wind-blocking membranes, and features the durability to perform season after season.
