Does anyone make a really thin grid fleece long sleeve? Like t shirt thin. I have an old Patagonia one and haven't been able to find anything like it.

Thanks too thick thoughStone Glacier
Have you had your hands on it? I bought one for my wife and it's so thin I was surprised that they advertise it as a grid fleece.Thanks too thick though

No are you talking about the Helio Hoody?Have you had your hands on it? I bought one for my wife and it's so thin I was surprised that they advertise it as a grid fleece.
Yes.No are you talking about the Helio Hoody?
No I haven't seen in person. It looks like the same thickness as a condor grid fleece but sounds like it's not I'll have to check it out thanks. although I'd prefer no hoodYes.
Just wait for a sale. They normally run 50-60% off if you keep an eye out. Never had to pay full price with EB.Yep that's what I'm looking for thanks little spendy though https://www.eddiebauer.com/p/12950575/men's-high-route-grid-air-14-zip

I do have a Sitka Core lightweight hoody and it is my favorite piece of hunting clothing. The only thing I don't like is hood always catches on my sitka ball cap hook and loop - drives me crazy! If that's how all Core pieces are I will like them. I had some way back when that were more of a silk material and I thought they were clammy but they've obviously changed their materialT-shirt thin (ie base layer thin)- the Sitka Core won't disappoint. I've used a myriad of other base layers and this one is the one I'm still wearing.
Available in a hoody too which I highly recommend!
Maybe that's what I have? What I have is literally exactly like the eddie bauer one referenced earlier. I will be picking up one of these if they go on 50% off. I did just order this to try out - the price is right - https://www.decathlon.com/collections/mens-fleeces/products/quechua-mh500-hiking-fleece-mens-307880?Have you seen the Patagoinia R1 air? It is a lighter weight fabric than the regular R1 and massively more breathable. The "base" fabric is a see through almost net like material with a zig zag of "fleece" across it. It might be a little more than your looking for, but I can't really imagine a "fleece" thats much lighter.
The other layer Ive been playing with recently is the Capliene air hoody. It is more of a open weaver sweater material, but it is a slightly lighter in weight/thickness than the above mentioned R1 air. I think this would probably be more inline with the weight your looking for.
Good point I guess what I am describing isn't even a fleece, I just associate grid with fleece in my head. My original question should have been for a microgrid base layerMy reading comprehension is not want it used to be. Missed the fleece part altogether!
There is no t-shirt thin fleece out there, but gridded base layers- Core Lightweight like you have, the OR Echo mentioned above and the now discontinued Patagonia Lightweight Capilene- none are what I would consider fleece.
The lightest fleece garments I'm familiar with are the above mentioned Kuiu Peloton 97. Make a nice cold weather base layer or warmer weather mid-level. Montbell makes a pretty lightweight fleece, called the Chameece, but it's a little heavier than the Peloton 97. Neither are grid.
The lightest grid fleece I've seen is Patagonia's Thermal Weight stuff. It's nice stuff. I use it as a base layer in cold weather. I've used it as a mid-layer and while it breathes pretty well, doesn't have a lot of warmth for the weight- better cold weather base layer imo.
