A double-layer 320 g/m² fleece in 100 % polyester, anti-pill treated on both faces. A mid layer rated down to −10 °C / 14 °F, worn on its own in dry weather or under a shell below zero. Full-length YKK® zip, kangaroo pockets with concealed zip, contrasting inner. Six sizes, S to 3XL, with the maker's measurements.
A work fleece that slides under everything else : it goes under a site jacket or a company softshell without bunching at the shoulders, and the sleeves stay put when you raise your arms.
The knit keeps its appearance wash after wash, where an ordinary fleece pills within a season. It closes right up to the collar and adjusts in one movement, without taking off whatever you are wearing over it.
Choose it for what goes over it : it stays on under the work jacket from morning to night, and only comes off in the locker room. The reflex to avoid is sizing up for comfort : too loose, and it lets air move instead of holding it.
On its own, in dry and still conditions, this fleece covers cold down to −10 °C / 14 °F. As soon as air moves, the perceived cold drops : under a windproof layer, it becomes the insulating layer of the system, and the working temperature of the whole then depends on the shell.
Because it sits where warmth is won : between the skin and the wind. It holds the air the body has warmed and lets itself be forgotten under a work jacket, which is the best thing you can say about a second layer. Add a thermal base layer underneath and a parka over the top.
