Timeless design with raglan sleeves and carefully placed seams to reduce the risk of chafing under a backpack and give superior comfort and freedom of movement. Zippered chest pocket, half-length front zipper and elastic binding at cuffs.
Our Verdict
The Fjallraven Övik Lite Fleece Half Zip is a reliable addition to any seasoned hiker's layering system. This mid-layer piece, crafted from recycled polyester microfleece, offers both sustainability and functionality; it's lightweight enough to stow in your pack yet warm enough for cooler spring days and summer evenings.
The raglan sleeves and strategically placed seams enhance comfort, especially under the straps of a loaded pack, reducing chafing. The half-zip design allows quick ventilation on strenuous climbs, and elastic binding at the cuffs keeps the sleeves snug, blocking out chilly winds. Practical details include a zipped chest pocket for securing essentials, with a subtle leather pull tab that adds Fjallraven’s signature touch of rugged elegance.
In terms of fit, the Övik Lite Fleece has a standard cut, allowing it to slide comfortably under a shell without bunching. It’s versatile for layering but works well as a standalone on milder days, embodying Fjallraven’s commitment to simplicity and durability in outdoor wear.
