Columbia Rugged Ridge High Pile Half Zip

Dense 100% polyester fleece gives the Columbia Rugged Ridge High Pile Half Zip in Dark Stone Twill the exceptional insulation needed to keep cold breezes from spoiling outdoor treks. Built to resolve the issue of uncomfortable chill entering around the neck and chest during autumn excursions, this versatile fleece pullover uses a soft high pile texture that holds warm air against the body. Featuring an adjustable half zip neck closure, elasticated cuffs, and twin handwarmer pockets, it provides reliable warmth and effortless layering functionality whether worn under an outer shell or over a simple tee.

At Urban Industry We Recommend These For

• Chilly woodland walks, campsite evenings, and countryside hill treks.
• Wearing beneath a waterproof rain jacket in wet weather, or as an outer fleece during crisp dry days.
• Anyone needing lightweight insulation that provides soft skin comfort without restricting upper body movement.

Fit & Sizing Recommendations

• The brand notes that this garment is cut for a comfortable, regular fit across the shoulders and body.
• Columbia advises opting for your true size for a standard profile, or choosing one size up if you prefer an oversized cut to fit over midweight sweaters.
• Soft elastic cuffs keep the sleeves positioned comfortably at the wrists during movement.

Washing & Care Instructions

• Machine wash cold on a delicate setting with similar dark neutral colours.
• Close the front zipper completely prior to placing the fleece into the washing machine.
• Line dry naturally away from direct radiators to keep the fleece loops soft and pile fluffed.
• Do not use fabric softeners, bleach, or dry cleaning, as chemicals destroy the fleece texture.
