First Lite Challis Fleece Jacket (Walnut): windproof, low-pile, quiet fleece with tricep vents and DWR—built to layer for glassing, hiking, and late-season sits.
The Challis Fleece is a windproof, low-pile soft shell built to pull double duty across the season. Use it as a quiet outer layer for early glassing sessions or pair it under a shell to add insulation and stop the wind when temps drop. Tricep vents and a two-way front zip let you dump heat fast during climbs, while the fleece face stays silent when you settle into position.
