Backcountry BGA Wander Sweater Fleece Jacket - Men's

Wander Sweater Fleece Jacket keeps us covered from mountain tops to coffee shops

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"Our designers got me a sample of the Wander Sweater Fleece Jacket this spring, and I was able to wear it for some spring laps and early-season hikes. The fit is great, allowing my arms to move naturally, and the mock-neck kept out the cold in the high alpine. Best of all, I can throw it on every chilly morning, whether I'm headed to the mountains or running to the coffee shop before going into the office."

We designed the Wander Sweater Fleece Jacket to be the go-to, do-it-all layer in our closet. From springtime road trips through the desert to our first time on snow in the fall, this jacket keeps us warm with a dialed-in fleece interior. The sweater-style face has a clean, put-together look, while keeping bulk to a minimum under our shell.

It's largely made with recycled materials, built with a classic fit, and loaded with thoughtful details. Zippered hand pockets keep our hands toasty while we get lost under flaming aspen during peak foliage, and the mock-neck seals in heat while looking great with our favorite beanie. The ripstop chest pocket keeps our wallet, phone, or keys (maybe all three?) out of our pant pockets, while looking great and adding a subtly stylish touch to our gear. Turn-back hem and cuffs give it some extra durability, so we can keep reaching for this jacket season after season.

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