Staying outside from dawn to dusk without ever going back to the locker room

A fleece built like a coat: the outer knit has a marl finish and the inner face is a sherpa fleece, holding on to the air your body has warmed instead of letting it go.

The stand-up collar and the lined hood with its drawcord close in around the face, the YKK® zip with chin guard and inner storm flap shuts out draughts, and five storage pockets sit on a straight cut.

Grand-Froid expert's view

The trap with a fleece this thick is wearing it against bare skin: always keep a technical base layer underneath, or the damp stays on the skin and the warmth counts for nothing. Open the zip two thirds of the way rather than taking it off for a five-minute stop indoors — it takes a while to come back up to temperature.

What is it designed for?

What wears you down in the cold is not the thermometer, it is how long you are out in it with nowhere to warm up. These are the jobs where this much thickness changes the day.

Drive-through till and order handover: the door stays open all day and the post cannot be left
Plant nursery and open-air garden centre: cold greenhouses and open aisles from first light
Riding school and unheated arena: lessons given standing still, an hour at a time on the sand
Outdoor filming and photo shoots: the waits between takes last longer than the takes
Snow clearing and road gritting: the wait between runs, engine off, cab gone cold
Station platform and depot control: a rhythm made of waiting, on a platform open at both ends

Thermal protection

−20 °C / −4 °F is the lower limit given for this fleece worn on its own, in dry weather, with no wind and the hood up. Moving air changes the arithmetic entirely: as soon as there is wind, put a windproof layer over the top, and it is that layer which then sets the working temperature of the whole outfit.

Why choose this knitted sherpa-lined fleece jacket?

Because it answers the cold you simply have to take, standing still: it carries the highest fabric weight in our fleece range, and that reserve of thickness does nothing during effort but becomes decisive at a standstill. Wear it over a thermal base layer, and under a parka as soon as the wind gets up.

The three-layer system:

1st layer — base: next to the skin. Captures body heat and moves perspiration outwards.
2nd layer — mid layer (role of this product): insulates and holds warm air around the body. Stops neither wind nor rain.
3rd layer — outer: shell, softshell jacket or padded gilet. Blocks wind and holds warmth. In sustained rain, a hardshell takes over.

* Indicative temperature. Perceived warmth varies with activity, body type, humidity, wind and the layers worn underneath.
