For quite some time, our go to fleece has been a classic Patagonia, and while our favorite Snap-T will always be a mainstay, it looks like it’s going to get a bit of a break this year.  See, we were recently turned on to a company out in Colorado who is turning out some fantastic fleeces of their own, and we’re really looking forward to giving one a shot.  From Topo Designs comes the aptly named Fleece Jacket.

Proudly made in the USA, the Topo Designs Fleece Jacket is made from Polartec 200 fleece.  That means it’s the perfect final layer on a chilly day, and a great middle layer when the mercury really drops.  Available in Navy, Olive, and Burgundy, each Topo Designs fleece features a nylon patch pocket on the left chest, and nylon reinforcements on the forearms.  Finished off with a three snap nylon placket, this trim cut fleece is a great blend of form and function.
