Marmot Alt HB Pullover
From: Special Mention: Insulated Utility Mid-Layer (Static & Active)
At Scramble, we're not big on the whole mid-layer / fleece concept. However, we aren't against having add-on pieces that can provide a thermal boost when conditions turn toward the unexpected and one's overly-aggressive insulation budgeting is exposed. Having a utility piece that will work like an insulated baselayer booster when you're active and like a fleece under more serious insulation when static is pretty useful. Although for us this is very much a luxury item (and the price is quite unappealing), Marmot's minimalist Octayarn implementation may cover enough bases to blag it's way in to your pack. As such the Marmot Alt HB Pullover is worth a special mention.
