Arctic Crest Sherpa Full-Zip Jacket - Men's

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"The Arctic Crest Sherpa is the fleece I keep coming back to on cold trail days because the Omni-Heat Arctic technology genuinely outperforms anything else at this weight. Outside Magazine called it best for frigid temps and I would not argue with that. The fleece-lined hood adds serious warmth when the wind picks up, and the abrasion-resistant overlays have held up well through a full season of hard use."

Cold trail days and frigid morning starts demand a fleece that performs beyond what the weight suggests, and the Columbia Arctic Crest Sherpa Full-Zip Jacket delivers exactly that. Named best for frigid temps by Outside Magazine's 2025 Winter Gear Guide, this Columbia Titanium fleece is built around Omni-Heat Arctic, a solar-capture insulation system inspired by arctic wildlife that pulls in ambient energy and converts it to lightweight, high-efficiency warmth that punches well above its weight class.

Plush polyester sherpa fleece feels soft and familiar from the first wear while abrasion-resistant overlays protect high-contact zones through repeated use on technical terrain. A fleece-lined hood and collar seal in heat around the neck and head, while stretch binding on the hood brim and a drawcord-adjustable hem lock out drafts at the edges. Elastic cuffs keep sleeves snug at the wrist, a chin guard eliminates chafe on full zip-up, and zippered chest and hand pockets keep essentials secure and within reach on the move.
