Columbia Essential Hike™ Grid full zip fleece

Columbia Men´s Essential Hike™ Grid Full Zip Fleece Elevate your outdoor layering system with the Columbia Men´s Essential Hike™ Grid Full Zip Fleece, a high-performance mid-layer engineered for the modern adventurer.

Designed to be your go-to piece for everything from challenging mountain trails to crisp morning walks, this fleece delivers exceptional warmth-to-weight performance and intelligent thermal regulation.

Its streamlined, athletic design ensures you move without restriction, making it an indispensable part of your gear for four-season activity.

Whether worn as a standalone jacket in mild conditions or as a crucial insulating layer under a shell when the weather turns, this fleece provides reliable comfort and technical function.

The core of this fleece´s performance lies in its advanced grid construction.

This textured pattern is not just for looks.

it creates micro-channels that enhance breathability, allowing excess heat and moisture vapor to escape during strenuous activity.

Simultaneously, it traps body heat in its lofted sections, providing substantial warmth without the bulk and weight of traditional fleece.

This is further enhanced by Columbi´s signature Omni-Wick™ technology, which actively pulls moisture away from your skin and disperses it across the fabric surface for rapid evaporation.

The result is a garment that works with your body to keep you dry, comfortable, and focused on the path ahead, preventing the chill that comes from sweat-soaked layers.

Thoughtful design details make the Essential Hike™ Grid Fleece exceptionally practical and comfortable.

The full-length center front zipper provides ultimate versatility, allowing you to vent heat quickly on a steep ascent or zip up completely to seal in warmth when you stop for a break.

A soft chin guard at the top of the zipper prevents uncomfortable chafing against your neck and chin.

For secure storage of your essentials like keys, a phone, or a trail snack, two zippered hand pockets are seamlessly integrated into the design.

The stand-up collar offers extra protection against drafts, while subtle binding at the cuffs and hem ensures a snug fit that keeps the elements out and the sleeves in place.

This synthetic, hoodless design is the epitome of functional minimalism, built for men who demand performance from their clothing.
