We've gotten pretty good at layering and delayering during our high-intensity pursuits, but it's also nice to have a versatile layering piece that regulates our temperature and moisture for us—like Outdoor Research's Vigor Grid Fleece Full-Zip Hooded Jacket. The Vigor features a light grid fleece that both traps warm air against our body while also letting heat and moisture escape when our exertion level goes up. On top of that, it features OR's ActiveTemp polymer against our skin, which actively adjusts to our temperature as our activity level changes to regulate our body temperature and the microclimate under the jacket. That's a lot of tech packed into a mid-layer fleece—tech that keeps us comfortable and cuts down on the time we spend adding or subtracting layers as we hike, climb, ski, or ride. The Vigor also wears well as a casual top or outer layer in milder weather.
