Reviews

290 fleece zip T

"Fit just as I was hoping. Wore it this past weekend for early morning fishing. The water was COLD but this worked out perfectly. Good motion capabilities without binding. Warm and comfortable. Lightweight and soft on the inside without the worry of seeds, grass and burrs getting stuck all over the outside. I will use this a lot!"

— Bret R. (5/5)

Matt

"Really happy with this top. The fit is excellent, lightweight without feeling cheap, and comfortable enough to wear all day hunting. The fabric feels premium, breathes well and layers nicely under a fleece or jacket. Quality seems excellent so far and it feels like one of those pieces you end up reaching for more often than expected."
