The first cold morning of the back-end always catches somebody out. You know the one — mist on the fields, breath in the air, and you're rummaging in the pickup for a layer you forgot to pack. This is the fleece that lives in the cab for exactly that.
The Ridgeline Narvik is a 200gsm polyester half-zip fleece built as a proper working mid-layer. On its own it's enough for a cool morning; under a waterproof jacket it's your winter set-up sorted. Warm, lightweight, breathable and quick-drying, so it copes with sweat on the way up the hill and drizzle on the way down.
The details that matter when you're actually working:
🔹 High collar to keep the wind off your neck
🔹 Half-zip for venting when the job heats up
🔹 Chunky zip puller you can work with gloves on
🔹 Packs down small — stuff it in a bag or behind the seat
🔹 Sizes XS–2XL, so it fits the whole team
Why fleece over a hoodie? Cotton holds moisture and goes cold against your skin. Polyester fleece wicks it away and keeps insulating when damp — which is the difference between a comfortable day and a miserable one at this time of year.
💾 Save this for your autumn layering checklist: base layer → Narvik fleece → waterproof shell. That's it.
