Free Fly’s Men’s Gridback Fleece Vest is a technical fleece vest with a stretch woven outer shell and a soft fleece interior. It’s a light, packable layer for windy starts and damp weather, and it adds warmth without the bulk of sleeves. Free Fly notes the shell helps block wind and shed rain, which makes it useful for early boat rides and for days that start cool and warm up. When temperatures drop, it also works cleanly as a midlayer under a jacket. Across our size run (M–XXL), the features stay the same; the choice is simply how much room you want through the chest and waist.
