Active Fleece Wind 1/2-Zip Jacket - Men's

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"This is my go-to pullover for cold, windy runs or hikes. The merino interior is soft and warm, but the windproof front panel makes the biggest difference—no icy gusts cutting through. The stretch lets me move freely, and the thumbholes keep it in place when layering."

The Smartwool Active Fleece Wind 1/2-Zip Jacket is built for high-output adventures in unpredictable conditions. A windproof front panel with a non-PFC DWR finish shields us from icy gusts and light precipitation, while the 4-way stretch knit allows us to move freely and comfortably. Inside, a soft-brushed merino layer sits against the skin, wicking moisture and adding natural warmth without bulk.

Reflective details keep us visible during low-light starts or evening finishes, while thoughtful features like a secure chest pocket and thumbholes add practical comfort. With its regular fit, it layers easily over a base or under a shell, giving us a versatile piece for shoulder-season running, winter hikes, or blustery ski tours.

A balance of protection, comfort, and mobility, the Active Fleece Wind 1/2-Zip proves itself as a reliable layer when the weather turns.
