Spectre Ridge Tech Full-Zip Fleece II - Men's

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I wore the Spectre Ridge on a muddy late-season hike and the Omni-Shield treatment did exactly what it promises. The stretch panels under the arms open up the range of motion significantly compared to a standard fleece, and the thumbholes keep the cuffs locked in place when I am moving fast on the trail. It is a genuinely functional midlayer for high-output hiking."

Technical trails and high-output days demand a midlayer that moves with you and shrugs off the mess that comes with serious hiking, and the Columbia Spectre Ridge Tech Full-Zip Fleece II is built for exactly that. Part of Columbia's Titanium platform for high-performance outdoor activity, this trail-focused fleece combines stretch construction with stain and moisture resistance to deliver a midlayer that performs as hard as the terrain it is built for.

Omni-Shield treatment repels moisture and resists stains at the fabric level, keeping the fleece clean and fast-drying through muddy switchbacks and wet brush. A nylon, polyester, and elastane blend gives the face fabric natural stretch and durability, while stretch panels at the sides and underarms open up full range of motion on steep technical sections. Thumbholes lock cuffs in place and add hand coverage in cold conditions, stretch binding at the cuffs and hem seals out drafts at the edges, and zippered hand pockets keep valuables secure through long days on the trail.
