I bought the KUIU Encounter 200 zip-T awhile back and like it so much, I ordered a second one just today. It’s a grid fleece interior. Sturdy yet light weight.

Well it’s so hard to tell them apart on the website. I went to one of the shows and tried on several. It was the most like the typical Columbia half-zip fleeces I like, except it has a smoother outer material and kind of a reinforced sleeve. I’ve been happy with it.I hadn't even seen that one.

I'll have to give it a look! How's the fit?Well it’s so hard to tell them apart on the website. I went to one of the shows and tried on several.

Any chance you’ve put your subjective thoughts and ratings into a spreadsheet of sorts to look at all at once?
Any personal experience with PolarTec Alpha Direct in any weights?
You know I still have to eat crow to buy patagonia. Kinda like growing up in aCheck out the R1 Air- just got my hands on one (but the wife claimed it!). It’s pretty nice, a little lighter than the regular R1 and a lot more breathable.
Compared to some of the lighter options yes, it's honestly close to the condor in terms of felt weight in the hand but the fit is better for me personallyIs the elkfork noticeably thicker material?
