Regulating Body Temperature Outdoors
The Trail Polartec® Power Grid™ Half-Zip Top helps regulate body temperature during various outdoor activities. The technology is designed to trap heat near the body and wick away moisture, while also letting excess heat out when it is no longer needed.[1,2]
Staying dry on the move outdoors
This half-zip top is made with Polartec Power Grid fabric in an airy design that the brand says wicks moisture away, making it a fit for active days outside when you're working up a sweat.[2]
A fleece half-zip for wearing solo or layering under a shell
This Polartec fleece half-zip works as a standalone top or as a mid-layer under a shell when conditions turn colder, per the brand. The grid knit is designed to support breathability and moisture management, and a zippered chest pocket holds small items without interfering with movement. A regular-fit option for a range of outdoor activities.[1,2]
A go-to fleece layer for a range of outdoor activities
This half-zip Polartec Power Grid fleece is made for use across a variety of outdoor activities, and can be worn on its own or as a layer under a shell. The stretchy, regular fit is designed to allow freedom of movement, with flatlock seams meant to reduce friction and chafing, and a zippered chest pocket intended to stay out of the way even when holding small items.[1]
Easy machine washing between trail days
When your half-zip top needs refreshing after a hike or workout, the manufacturer says it can go straight in the washing machine at 40°C. Their care instructions also call for skipping the tumble dryer, iron, bleach, dry cleaning and fabric softener, and instead drying it flat in the shade. They add a few simple steps like turning it inside out, zipping it up, washing it with similar colors, and taking it out promptly after the wash.[1]
