Gilet ad alto pelo Uomo Merino Blend 960 RealFleece™

Wore this while walking the dog in 20-degree weather and the merino blend kept me toasty without that itchy feeling wool usually gives me. The high pile is plush enough that I almost forget I have a shell over it, and the zip lets me dial in warmth fast when I start climbing hills.

The high-loft brushed fabric traps heat almost instantly, and the merino blend keeps it from feeling clammy even after a brisk walk. It's become my default layer for everything from errands to trail days, and the cut lets me move without any bulk.

Wore it on a 20-degree morning with just a t-shirt underneath and stayed toasty the whole walk to the train. The merino blend keeps it from feeling clammy like my old synthetic fleece, and the high pile traps heat without weighing me down.
