MATCH YOUR FLEECE TO YOUR MISSION
Fleece: warmth in a layering system
Dressing in layers lets you adjust your protection to the temperature, weather, and activity level without replacing your entire outfit. A fleece primarily provides insulation: it traps warm air close to the body and helps prevent heat loss. Wear it over a moisture-wicking base layer or a lightweight technical top, on its own in dry, calm conditions, or under a windbreaker, softshell, or hardshell when you need protection from wind or drizzle.
How to wear a fleece?
- Over a moisture-wicking base layer – when freedom of movement and efficient moisture transfer away from the body matter most.
- Over a lightweight technical top – when lower temperatures call for more insulation.
- On its own, over a T-shirt – in dry, less windy conditions or during lower-intensity activity.
- Under a windbreaker, softshell, or hardshell – when you need additional protection from wind and precipitation.

Patriot Pro: a mid-season jacket for changeable weather
Patriot Pro combines the thermal comfort and softness of fleece with softshell-like protection. Hybrid STORMFLEECE® reduces wind penetration and slows water absorption in drizzle and light rain, while also moving moisture away during activity. Weighing 563 g, the jacket works as a standalone transitional layer in the field or the city, and as part of a layering system when you need more warmth.
