Half zip hiking midlayer that provides lightweight warmth and breathability for long days out on the trail. Made with 95% recycled polyester
Osprey says:
The perfect midlayer for all adventures, the ADVENTURE HALF ZIP midlayer is designed to provide lightweight warmth while also offering high levels of breathability.
Weighing 201g (average across all sizes), the ADVENTURE HALF ZIP is a packable layer that can be worn as a base or midlayer for all types of outdoor activity. Featuring a clever hexagonal lining construction which saves on material weight, the hexagons trap pockets of warm air, while also allowing heat and moisture to escape.
The ADVENTURE HALF ZIP is high stretch, allowing you full range of movement (it’s made using 95% recycled polyester and 5% elastane). It features thumb loops for those colder starts, as well as reflective detailing and a zip pocket on the chest.
A highly versatile piece, the ADVENTURE HALF ZIP midlayer is ready for wherever the trail takes you.
Our Verdict
At 202g (Medium), I think this strikes a nice balance between a baselayer and a lightweight fleece. The hex-pattern inner fabric adds a little warmth without making the layer feel heavy, while the half zip provides useful ventilation when working harder on climbs. The stretch fabric moves well and should layer comfortably under a waterproof or insulated jacket.
I particularly like the thumb loops, which help keep sleeves in place and add a touch of extra coverage on colder starts. The small chest pocket is handy for a key or card.
