Скачать или смотреть The Backcountry Highliner Collection In Patagonia | Gearhead® Field Test

What happens when you take a featherlight fleece to the windswept trails of Patagonia and put it through 85+ miles of rugged terrain, steep climbs, chilly nights, and campsite chaos? You get this: a no-nonsense, hands-on field test of the Backcountry Highliner Fleece Hoodie, men’s and women’s versions alike.

In this episode, Gearheads Kendall and Ma hike deep into Torres del Paine National Park, where they put our most versatile midlayer to the test—layering it, stuffing it, sleeping in it, and sweating through it (spoiler: no swampy back, even under a pack). And after a week of wild weather and zero laundry, the fleece still came out swinging.

🧵 Key Features of the Highliner Fleece Hoodie:

✅ Ultralight, quick-drying PrimaLoft® Air Perm™ recycled fleece
✅ Breathable + stretchy for hiking, climbing, skiing, or sitting in a freezing office
✅ Integrated stowaway pocket with carabiner loop—clip it and go
✅ Designed for seamless layering under puffies, shells, or packs
✅ Hooded and quarter-zip options for adventure or casual wear
✅ Cozy thumb loops and helmet-friendly hood fit
✅ Packs down small, fluffs back up without fuss
✅ Made from 100% recycled polyester for a lighter footprint

Whether you’re crushing switchbacks, making coffee at camp, or dodging A/C drafts at your desk, this fleece just works. It's that layer you forget you're wearing until you need it—then never want to take it off.

🎒 Want to know if it holds up under a backpack for seven days straight?
🌬️ Curious about breathability, layering systems, or wet weather performance?
🧼 Wondering if it smells after a week in the wild? (Spoiler: kinda, but not bad.)

We've got you covered. Follow along as we dive into durability, fit, packability, and why we’d love to see a Highliner Pro version hit the slopes next.
