The 686 Chimay Fleece Women's Anorak is a midweight knit fleece pullover with a half-zip front and a cozy fleece collar. It layers under a shell for extra warmth or works on its own on mild days, and it's soft enough to live in around town once you're off the mountain.

Why we like it:

Bold printed and colorblocked fleece styles give the Chimay more personality than a standard solid midlayer, so it looks good on its own at après.

Features and Functions:

A fleece collar and half-zip front let you open it up for airflow or zip it high against a cold breeze. The body is a midweight polyester knit fleece with stretch, so it traps warmth and breathes without feeling stiff, and the fabric adds sun protection on bright spring days. Elastic cuffs and an adjustable elastic hem keep cold air out, and a front hand pocket gives you a place to warm your hands or stash a phone.

Fit and Sizing:

A loose, slightly cropped fit that pulls easily over a base layer, with stretch in the knit and an elastic hem that gathers it at the waist.

Bottom Line:

A versatile warmth layer for cool resort days, under a shell on the hill or on its own for everyday wear.
