SLOAN! Magazine – “not your typical fleece”

The Genesis Travel Fleece from Keela is a new version of the popular Genesis Waterproof Fleece Jacket without the shoulder reinforcement for those looking for a softer less technical looking outdoor waterproof fleece jacket but with the same level of warmth and weather protection. It also has added studs at the neck for attachment of an optional hood (not included).

Cutting edge technology is not commonly associated with a fleece, the Genesis however is not your typical fleece. The Innovation XL lining system has a hydrophilic film and high wicking properties to provide an inner sealed cocoon against the elements.

ACTIVE TRAVELLER - "AN ABSOLUTE STAND-OUT FAVOURITE BIT OF KIT".

I have to admit, I'd never heard of a waterproof fleece before reviewing this offering from Keela and have delighted in telling anyone who will listen about it ever since.

To all intents and purposes, it's a fleece like any other; warm, cosy, comforting and did we mention warm? In fact, it's a touch warmer than your average fleece, akin to say a 300 weight.

I'm not usually a fan of heavy fleece, it tends to make me boil up and sweat whatever the weather, but the Genesis seems to deal with moisture well, which is a big surprise considering the waterproof membrane. This could, in part be down to the fairly generous fit which allows plenty of room for movement when you're hiking but is still close enough to be thermally efficient.

An absolute stand-out favourite bit of outdoor kit for the autumn and winter.
