Stay warm while cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, or just hanging around in town with the Cloudveil men's Gridlock fleece jacket. The Gridlock is made of Polartec Wind Pro dobby, which is four times warmer than traditional fleece. As a result, you'll find the jacket a perfect fit for a host of cool weather activities. Plus, the jacket's material keeps you from cooling down too fast after brisk skate loops, overhead power days, or fall bike classics.

About Gridlock Fabrics
The lightweight, high-stretch Polartec PowerStretch microfiber fabric boasts a smooth-faced exterior for superior layering and enhanced performance. The fabric's four-way stretch and fast-wicking inner surface is comfortable next to the skin and moves moisture quickly, making it an ideal layering fabric. The jacket's warming material is Polartec Wind Pro heavyweight dobby, which is four times more wind-resistant than traditional fleece. Highly breathable, water repellant, and tremendously warm, Polartec Wind Pro works as a technical layer regardless of the activity.

About Cloudveil
Cloudveil took shape in the minds of Stephen Sullivan and Brian Cousins sometime during the winter of 1994, as the pair worked as outdoor retail store managers/buyers at Skinny Skis in Jackson, Wyoming. After working, skiing, and climbing together for two years, they came to realize that they had more in common than just a shared passion for alpine pursuits. Both shared a profound belief that there was room in the mountain apparel market for a focused, performance-oriented product offering that would dare to think "outside the box" when it came to functional design, fabrication, and innovation. Living in the alpine, climbing, and backcountry skiing playground of Jackson Hole, they decided that there was no better place to base the business. Research and development existed right out the back door, and with the advent of modern technology, where was no need to pack up and move.

The duo officially launched Cloudveil in the fall of 1997, introducing eight products at their first Outdoor Retailer show in Salt Lake City, including the now signature Serendipity jacket. In fact, most of the original products are still in the collection today. Cloudveil has since grown dramatically and now spans a wide variety of product types, including fall/winter and spring/summer apparel for men, women, and children. Cousins and Sullivan's discovery and extensive use of Schoeller stretch-woven fabrics from Switzerland help usher in a new era of outdoor clothing--the soft shell--for the true mountain athlete. Cloudveil announced a complete line of fly fishing apparel and accessories in 2006, with more than 140 fly-fishing specialty retailers carrying the line. Cloudveil apparel is now sold in more than 450 outdoor specialty stores in the U.S., as well as specialty accounts in Japan, Taiwan, Canada, and Australia. Cloudveil also sells direct to a growing customer base through its catalogs, website, and retail store.

This review is from: Cloudveil Men's Gridlock Fleece Jacket (Apparel)

Let me first say that I really like the products of Cloudveil, a US (WY) company. I own a hardshell jacket that is one of my favorite in my "collection". Let me second say that when looking for a fleece, I was in search of something that could be worn alone in the 30 degree (freezing) temp range. The Gridlock was indicated to have Thermal Pro, a form of insulation designed to retain heat. Thus, I assumed it would be a perfect cold weather jacket. While the torso portion of the jacket provides solid warmth and protection, the arms are not well insulated. In fact, if interested in a cold weather option, I would recommend something that possesses wind resistance (i.e. something with Gore Windstopper or the like, which I now own). While the Gridlock is a good looking jacket, and will be worn, it's not recommended but as a cool temperature jacket or a second layer. Finally, I note that while listed as black, the jacket harbors a green hue. Not a big deal to me, as the jacket and color are stylish, but could be... Happy shopping.
