Backcountry BGA Wander Sweater Fleece 1/2-Zip - Men's

Wander, get lost, and wander some more in the Wander Sweater Fleece 1/2-Zip

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"This fleece hits the sweet spot between comfort and function. I’ve worn it on chilly trail walks and post-ski dinners—it’s warm, looks clean, and the ripstop chest pocket add a touch of function and utilitarian flare that I love."

When we find ourselves with time on our hands and we need to balance style with comfort the Backcountry Wander Sweater Fleece 1/2-Zip feels like a no brainer. Its clean lines and cozy construction make it easy to throw on whether we're chasing golden hour on a desert trail or grabbing coffee downtown. With a soft fleecy interior and a faux sweater-knit face, it delivers the look of a lifestyle piece with the performance of technical fleece.

The mock neck helps lock in heat when temps drop, and Lycra-bound hems and cuffs keep everything comfortably in place. A reverse coil half-zip lets us vent when we warm up, and the two-tone ripstop chest pocket gives us a secure spot for keys or trail snacks. Simple, versatile, and easy to wear—this fleece is always ready to wander.

Designed to support Jamaica’s athletes before and after runs, this layer offers warmth and comfort without restricting movement.
