Cold starts and active days can demand very different layers. The Swazi Brocco uses lightweight 140gsm micro fleece to provide warmth without the bulk of a heavier fleece, making it suitable as a base layer in colder conditions or over a tee when less insulation is needed.

As you warm up, the long chest zip gives you a simple way to increase ventilation without removing the whole layer. The fleece also allows moisture to move away from the body and is designed to keep helping with core warmth when damp.

Swazi cuts the Brocco extra long to keep more of your torso covered during movement. Thumb loops help hold the sleeves in position, while the snug-fitting hood works comfortably over a cap or beanie. When it comes off, the lightweight fleece packs down exceptionally small, which is useful when the layer spends part of the day inside your pack.

Key Features

• Lightweight 140gsm Micro Fleece: Soft micro fleece provides warmth while keeping the Brocco light enough for base or mid layer use.
• Long Half Zip Ventilation: The extended chest zip makes it easier to release heat as your activity level or the temperature rises.
• Warmth Even When Damp: The fleece is designed to wick moisture away from the body while continuing to help retain core warmth when wet.
• Extra-Long Cut: Added body length helps keep your core covered and reduces the chance of the shirt riding up during movement.
• Snug Hood And Thumb Loops: The fitted hood helps protect your head and ears, while thumb loops help keep the sleeves in place.
• Packs Down Small: The lightweight fleece compresses into a compact size and can also be used as a pillow when needed.
