For anglers who live in a fleece from cool mornings through travel days, the Free Fly Ashridge Fleece Half Zip is a straightforward layer with a few practical upgrades. Free Fly uses a polar fleece they infuse with bamboo charcoal to help resist odor and cut down on static. That matters when it’s been worn hard for a few days or pulled over a base layer in dry air.
It’s a half-zip for quick venting without the bulk of a full front zipper. You also get zippered hand pockets plus a zippered chest pocket, so keys, wallet, and a phone stay put when you’re moving between the truck and the water.
