Swix Tista Grid 1/2-Zip Fleece Midlayer Top - Women's Magnet, M

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I've been wearing the Tista Grid 1/2-Zip Fleece Midlayer Top on back-to-back Nordic ski days and the coconut charcoal fiber technology keeps it fresher between washes than any synthetic midlayer I've used before. The raglan sleeve construction gives me full shoulder mobility through a hard pole drive without any pulling across the back, which is exactly what I need from a layer I'm wearing for hours at a time.""A midlayer that works across your whole winter life is harder to find than it sounds. The Swix Tista Grid 1/2-Zip Fleece Midlayer Top earns that description honestly, moving from Nordic ski training to cold weather runs to alpine layering without asking you to compromise on fit, comfort, or performance along the way. The fabric starts with carbonized coconut charcoal tech fiber, a naturally hydrophobic and odor-resistant material that manages moisture and stays fresh across consecutive days of hard use without relying on surface treatments that fade over time. Spandex blended into the construction adds the stretch needed for a full range of active movement, while the raglan sleeve design keeps the shoulder seam out of the way during overhead and rotational efforts. The athletic tapered fit sits close enough to layer cleanly under a shell while the generous half-zip gives you ventilation control on the fly. Quick-drying and easy care, it packs down small enough to live in any bag as a permanent cold-weather contingency all season long."
