My current cheapy Berghaus fleece is on its way out, so I'm in line for a new mid layer. Especially if I can get the 15% Cotswold Outdoor discount!
So, what should I get, do you reckon? I could quite easily get a North Face fleece (or equivalent), but then there are other manufacturers and concepts out there that I haven't tried before (all stating that they're the best system, of course) such as Buffalo, Paramo, Icebreaker, Windstopper etc
Criteria:
- Nothing too warm (I'll be walking around the countryside and a few hills, not Mount Everest)
- Highly breathable
- I'll be wearing a baselayer and Goretex. Usually I just need those, then add the fleece if it's too cold, but maybe I could get away with something like a thinner Buffalo then add the Goretex in really wet conditions
- Mustn't be really ugly or too heavy
- I'm willing to pay for quality
So, what do you reckon?
