What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:“I’ve used this as an active fleece for cool hikes and shoulder-season days, and it shines when you’re moving. The side panels stretch well, and it breathes better than a standard fleece when the pace picks up.”Cool-weather movement calls for layers that work with us, not against us. We wear the Mountain Athletics Full Zip Fleece from The North Face on brisk trail mornings and active days when steady warmth and mobility matter more than plush insulation. It feels athletic and streamlined, staying comfortable as effort levels rise and fall. Midweight fleece balances warmth and breathability, helping manage moisture during sustained movement. Stretch side panels allow natural reach and stride without binding, while the fixed hood adds coverage when wind or shade drops the temperature. Zippered pockets keep small essentials secure, making this fleece a reliable choice for active outings in mild to cool conditions.
