Built for the shoulder-season shuffle between cold mornings and warming afternoons, the KUHL Men's Aktivator® Fleece Full Zip is a thinking man's fleece. It defies and disrupts the iconic fleece jacket with a body-mapped design that puts warmth exactly where you want it and breathability exactly where you need it.
The construction is the story here. Two different weights of premium polyester fleece are strategically placed: heavier fleece at the front and back drives superior core warmth, while lighter fleece under the arms and at the sides cuts bulk, boosts mobility, and helps regulate temperature. Durable softshell overlays reinforce high-wear areas, and a longer length adds extra coverage against the elements.
Standout features:
- Body-mapped dual-weight fleece — heavyweight heat at the core, lightweight breathability at the sides
- Temperature regulation — lighter underarm and side panels vent heat and add stretch and reach
- Softshell overlays — accents at pockets, hem, and cuffs protect vulnerable, high-wear zones
- Signature thumb loops — seal in warmth and keep sleeves anchored when layering
- Hem cord-lock — a hem bungee dials in a custom fit and blocks drafts
- Low-bulk signature seams — make layering under a shell smooth and easy
The right pick for cool-weather hikes, travel days, and around-town wear, or as a heat-holding midlayer under a shell when the temperature drops. It is the KUHL line's heaviest-weight fleece, so it leans warm without feeling clumsy.
