This quarter-zip midlayer is a top choice for a lightweight backcountry piece you may wear nearly non-stop on alpine climbing, biking or backpacking trips with intense sun and wind exposure and shifting temps.
The engineering is next level with Ibex’s VaporFuse fabric (100% 18.5-micron merino wool with a proprietary steaming process) that makes it feel cooler on your skin even when you’re pushing it. The scuba hood fits comfortably under a bike or climbing helmet. MSRP: $175. Ibex.com
