Columbia Men's Steens Mountain 2.0 Full Zip Fleece Jacket

Budget Insulated Layers & Outerwear

Our verdict

Our pick for the mid-layer slot because the soft polyester fleece adds real warmth under a waterproof shell and works on its own for crisp autumn days and mild winter outings. The full zip makes it easy to vent when moving between indoors and outdoors, and the fit leaves room for a base layer beneath. It is not windproof or waterproof, so it needs a shell over it in rain, wet snow, or strong wind.
