Crest 1/4-Zip Jacket - Men's

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I reach for this when I want a midlayer that feels warm without being bulky. The fleece has a smooth stretch that moves well on hikes, and the chest pocket is actually useful for keys or a small snack. It’s simple, comfortable, and easy to work into a layering system."

We pull on the Crest 1/4-Zip Jacket when cool mornings turn into crisp afternoons on the trail. Its midweight recycled fleece brings steady warmth without slowing our pace, and the added stretch keeps the pullover comfortable as we climb, reach, or settle into a casual rhythm outside. The elastic cuffs and hem seal in heat when the breeze picks up, while the stand-up collar adds just enough coverage for early starts.

For everyday use, the design stays clean and functional. A zippered chest pocket stashes small essentials, and the hip-length fit layers easily under a shell when weather rolls in. Built from recycled materials and finished with a non-PFC DWR treatment, the Crest 1/4-Zip balances comfort, performance, and a more responsible footprint for everything from backyard campfires to weekend hikes.
