Initial Thoughts on the Gridback Fleece Jacket

As the temperatures drop, the Gridback Fleece is one of my new favorite lightweight and packable layers. The weather-resistant jacket has a stretch-weave shell that protects you from rain and wind, along with a super soft, gridded fleece interior to retain heat.

Love having zipper pockets on the outside and large open pockets on the inside as well.

Pros Cons
  • High-pile warmth
  • Not ideal for being in the rain for long periods of time
  • Wind-resistant
  • No hood
