I love fleeces, and there is much to love about Columbia’s Jammin’ Journey fleece: it is super comfy, very stylish, incredibly soft, and serves the technical functions of repelling water and keeping me warm when hiking on chilly days.
As all you avid hikers know, it is important to layer your clothing so you can add or remove layers as necessary to keep your body at a normal temperature on the trail. This Columbia fleece enables me to do just that and serves as an excellent mid-layer. I put it on over a wicking t-shirt, and when it gets windy or rainy I slip a windbreaker on top of it.
Hiking Lady Tip: Columbia’s tops tend to run a bit on the larger side.
