When theyre not producing super light, minimalist packs, Palante are finding ways to make apparel more backpack friendly. Constructed from a 100% polyester knit in a distinct grid pattern, the Grid Fleece Hoody features thumb holes to prevent the fleece bunching when quickly putting on a shell or down layer and a large front pocket placed higher to not interfere with your hipbelt, pack, or climbing harness. Finished with a quarter zip for easy on / off and a tasteful stitched logo on the right sleeve, Palante can seemingly do it all.
