Description

One of the most coveted styles around Free Fly HQ, the Gridback Fleece Snap Pullover is an innovative combination of classic fleece comfort and streamlined weather resistance. The interior is an indulgently soft high-pile fleece that traps and retains heat through gridded channels, finished with a bonded stretch-weave shell that keeps out rain and wind unlike any other fleece. Wear it as an outer layer on brisk hikes and early morning boat rides, or pair it with a canvas pant for the beer garden.

Features
  • Gridback Fleece Interior. A high-loft grid fleece back that traps warmth and still breathes.
  • Bonded Stretch Shell. The weave is bonded to the fleece, so wind stops at the face.
  • 4-Way Stretch. Nine percent spandex, so reaching does not fight the garment.
  • Five-Button Placket. Open it to vent, close it to lock in heat.
  • Stand-Up Collar. Covers the neck without a hood to stow.

Questions, answered

Before you buy.

Pulled from chats, emails and store visits. The things people actually ask us before they buy. Don't see yours?

Ask a question
Will the Gridback fleece block wind and rain?

Yes to wind, mostly to drizzle. The bonded stretch-weave shell is wind-resistant and sheds light rain — unusual for a fleece. It isn't a waterproof shell, though, so for sustained rain pair it with a rain jacket like Free Fly's Cloudshield.

How do Free Fly layers fit?

Free Fly tops have a relaxed, athletic fit and most people take their usual size. If you're between sizes or plan to layer underneath, size up — and check the size guide for chest and length measurements.

Can I check this out in person first?

Absolutely — stop by Mountain Sports and we'll set it up so you can try before you buy. And everything ships with free 30-day returns if it's not the right fit.
