Breathable and Moisture-Wicking.  Breathability is key in an active mid-layer, and the Rohan Microgrid Fleece excels in this area. The fabric is highly breathable, allowing moisture to escape and keeping you dry during high-intensity activities. This moisture-wicking property ensures that you stay comfortable, even when you’re pushing your limits on the trail or during a workout.

Versatile and Functional Design.  The simple, functional design of the Rohan Microgrid Fleece makes it incredibly versatile. It features a classic crew neck and a streamlined fit, allowing it to be worn as a base layer, mid-layer, or on its own. The top is available in a range of neutral colours, making it easy to pair with other outdoor gear or casual wear. The flatlock seams add to the comfort by reducing chafing, even during prolonged use.

Durable and Easy to Care.  Durability is another strong point of this fleece top. The fabric is designed to withstand the rigors of outdoor activities, resisting pilling and wear over time. Despite its technical features, the Microgrid Fleece is easy to care for, requiring minimal maintenance. Its machine washable and dries quickly, ready for your next adventure.

Eco-Friendly Fabric.  In addition to its performance features, the Rohan Microgrid Fleece Crew Neck Top is made with sustainability in mind. The fabric is engineered to be environmentally friendly, offering a low-impact alternative to traditional fleece materials. This makes it a great choice for those who want to reduce their environmental footprint without sacrificing performance.

Performance in the Field

I recently tested the Rohan Men’s Microgrid Ultra-Lightweight Fleece Crew Neck Top on a number of hiking trips, and it quickly became a favourite in my outdoor wardrobe. The top provided just the right amount of warmth during the cool start and remained comfortable as the day warmed up. It layered easily under my jacket, and I appreciated the breathability when the hike became more strenuous. The lightweight design made it easy to stow away in my pack when I didn’t need it, and it was ready to go when the temperature dropped again.
