Iconic fleece in our lineup – thick, heavy, and tough
If you’re into thick, old-school fleeces – the kind you throw on and forget about the weather – then we recommend our iconic Patriot. It’s one of the heaviest fleece jackets we offer, featuring a high, roomy, adjustable hood that provides reliable protection for your head and face from wind and rain.
Can you wear this fleece as an outer layer in winter?
Absolutely. Thanks to its thick structure and cut, it works great as a standalone layer on cold days or under a jacket – even in freezing conditions.
The Patriot fleece comes with six functional pockets:
- two chest pockets with cable routing ports
- two shoulder pockets
- one pocket on the left forearm
- one large back pocket (so-called "poacher's pocket") at kidney level
Are the pockets practical in the field and under heavy load?
Definitely. Their placement helps with gear organization, and the back so called poacher’s pocket is a smart solution when you need extra space without sacrificing freedom of movement.
Patriot is a cult-classic fleece with a simple, traditional cut, offering solid cold-weather protection.
