To put it simply; the Meteora 1/4 Zip Fleece is designed for scrambling up mountains in cold weather conditions. It's engineered with Polartec® Power Stretch™ – a dynamic stretch and recovery knit technology that offers shape retention and four-way stretch, meaning you won't be held back when you need to make reachy moves. This unique fabric has a low-friction, highly breathable and moisture-wicking dual surface. The quick-drying polyester fabric repels moisture, while the lofted structures create thermal air pockets to retain warmth and deliver optimal breathability. All of this offers exceptional temperature regulation, so if your temperature starts to climb, you'll stay cool and dry – even if you need to layer up. Add some elastane to that mix along with zipped chest pockets, and this fleece is an ultra-practical midlayer that won’t restrict even broad-stance stemming moves.
