Fleeced out

Looking at treating myself to a new fleece for the challenge and was looking at one of two options: Haglof Barrier 2 on sale at £74 or going for the cheaper option off Polartec 100 Glacier Delta with disc £40. Any thoughts or better alternative idea's. Was thinking about the £50 mark.

Re: Fleeced out

Montane oryx - best fleece I have ever used. Google shows them as low as £35 right now. Light, warm, dries fast. Top kit.

Re: Fleeced out

Just go for waterproofs it works and saves weight .

Re: Fleeced out

Thanks Martin & Bill for your comments. Although I like to keep the weight down as much as poss I think I will pack a fleece, mind you I could always drill a few holes in my tooth brush. Doing across border foray to Newcastle with the wife kids tomorrow. O joys !.

Hope to see you en-route for a pint.
Cheers
