Snigel Fleece Jacket 1.0 – Lightweight Tactical Fleece with Ventilation Zips
Description
Snigel Fleece Jacket 1.0 – Lightweight Tactical Fleece with Ventilation Zips
Lightweight. Warm. Easy to regulate. The Snigel Fleece Jacket 1.0 is a fluffy, lightweight tactical fleece built for real-world use in cold conditions. Its smart construction combines two fleece types: a high-loft “bear” fleece that traps air for warmth, and a smoother, thinner fleece under the armpits to reduce bulk and improve moisture management.
Together with armpit ventilation zippers, this design gives excellent thermal regulation across a wide temperature range — from active movement to static cold-weather use. A high collar lined with fluffy fleece adds comfort, while practical details like a full front zip, zippered pockets, an elastic waist cord and durable cuffs make it a reliable everyday midlayer for duty, training and outdoor use.

FAQ
Is this fleece suitable as a midlayer under a shell jacket?
Yes. The jacket is designed as a functional midlayer. The armpit ventilation zippers and underarm smooth fleece help manage heat and moisture under a shell.
What makes the construction “tactical” compared to a regular fleece?
The dual-fleece layout improves thermal efficiency where you need it and reduces bulk where you sweat most. Combined with pit zips, it supports fast temperature regulation during movement and stops.
Do the armpit zippers really help in cold weather?
Yes. In cold environments, overheating and sweat can quickly make you cold later. Pit zips let you dump heat without removing layers, helping you stay dry and warm.
How should I choose my size?
If you plan to wear it as an outer fleece over a base layer, choose your regular size. If you plan to layer it under a thicker insulated jacket, a slightly slimmer fit may work better. (If you send Snigel’s size chart or chest measurements, I can format it into a clean table.)
