The thermal properties of the Berghaus Arnside fleece would be minimal if simply worn next to the skin but worn with base layers and under a hard- shell the Arnside performs well.
I’ve owned a Berghaus Arnside quarter zip fleece for around six months using it as a mid layer between a base layer and a hard shell. The Arnside fleece is unlike a traditional fuller pile fleece that offers a warmer, thicker mid-layer.
Quality zip and toggle.
The Arnside fleece is styled as a Spring/Summer extra layer, which takes up minimal weight and packs down well to about the size of a pint of milk. The Berghaus Arnside fleece is available in a range of sizes from XS to XXL and in colours extreme red or green.
Berghaus Arnside micro fleece
Its a pullover style fleece with a neck cuff zip which can be adjusted for ventilation. The garment is manufactured from double sided brushed micro fleece (100% polyester) with flat locked stitched seams. I’ve worn this Garment throughout the winter period together in combination as a part of a layering system of garments. The thermal properties of the Berghaus Arnside fleece would be minimal if simply worn next to the skin but worn with base layers and under a hard- shell the Arnside performs well.
packs down quite well
On the subject of breathability the Arnside fleece does allow airflow if worn with suitable outer layers. Flexibility is good and the fleece allows a free unrestricted range of movement.

Conclusion
If you’re looking for a four season fleece then the Arnside fleece is not for you. I’d recommend the Arnside fleece as a three-season fleece or an optional extra garment to carry with you.For around £20.00 from most suppliers its an ideal fleece to carry with you.
