grid fleece half-zip 180
Grid-back fleece at 180 g/m² — the mid layer that goes with everything here.
three places, three grades
a grade with no reason is not a grade
- hikingsuitable
- Half zip lets you vent on a climb without unpacking the shell; the grid face does not pill under a pack.
- cyclingsuitable
- Cut close through the chest so it does not balloon in the wind, hem drops 4 cm at the back. No rear pocket.
- commutingsuitable
- Plain face and a flat collar, so it passes as a normal fleece over a shirt.
Cycling grades account for back hem length, sleeve length with your arms forward on the bars, and whether there is a rear pocket you can reach. Rear pocket on this piece: no.

the piece
A gridded fleece back at 180 g/m². The channels between the grid squares are what move air when you open the zip; the squares are what hold it when you close it. The default mid layer of the system.
what it does, and where it stops
how we test- fabric weight
- 180 g/m²
- garment weight
- 288 g in EU 50 / M
- packed volume
- 0.8 L
- water repellency
- None. No repellent finish on this fabric.
- hydrostatic resistance (EN ISO 811)
- Not published.
- breathability (EN ISO 11092)
- Not published.
Measured stuffed into its own pocket and compressed by hand — not a machine-compressed figure.
No water-repellent finish. This fabric soaks through in rain and is meant to be worn under a shell.
Not measured. This garment is water-repellent only, so no hydrostatic figure is published for it.
Not yet measured. No breathability figure is published and no breathability claim is made until it is measured to this standard.
- 180 g/m² grid fleece, 4 mm channel pitch
- 35 cm zip with an internal chin guard
- Single chest pocket sized for a phone, zip on the wearer’s right

Garment measurements in centimetres, taken flat. Tolerance ±1 cm — a run of fabric is never exact, and we would rather print the tolerance than pretend it away.
the same garment, in a riding position

Measured on a mannequin held at a 35° forward lean. A forward lean lifts the back hem and pulls the sleeve back from the wrist, so these figures are lower than the standing ones — that is the effect, stated rather than hidden.
