I'm 5'9 175 lbs. The large fits great. For me, the comfort range with being active (walking/hiking) is down to 32 degrees F and with little or low activity up to about 60 degrees F with just a base layer underneath. Very happy overall! Even though the chest pocket is not easily accessible with a bino harness on, I like it to store my glasses when not needed. I like the hoody so much I got a couple of different colors.
Great mid layer. Love the fit. Hoping they will make a base layer.
The Guide Air Fleece absolutely earned a permanent spot in my pack. I wore it hard during a week in the Colorado backcountry chasing elk through rain, damp conditions, long climbs, and plenty of sweat. It dried incredibly fast, breathed extremely well, and, most impressively, didn’t hold odor after days of use. Lightweight, comfortable, and built for the mountains. Absolutely loved it!
Love the fit, feel and weight of the guide air fleece! I am 5’9” and 175lb and the large fits perfect. I wore it turkey hunting and shed hunting as a mid-layer and it performed fantastic.
Just arrived from the presale release yesterday. Already know its going to be a permanent part of the kit. Fit is athletic, but not overly tight in any one area for me at my 5'9 164# dad bod.
It does however have a disinct smell out of the packaging I have never smelled on any new clothes before. I am assuming it will go away quickly, but Ive only been wearing it for a morning so far.
Hey Adam,
Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. The bags that the clothing are being shipped in are made of recycled plastic and are recyclable, that being said if the smell doesn't go away after airing out and washing please let us know.
Thanks,
Argali
My favorite layering combo last fall was this fleece with a shortsleeved merino under it and a light vest on top. This Guide Air Fleece is ideal for chilly mornings with a demanding pull up the mountain. Good heat dumping without freezing at the top. Highly recommend.
I've worn and tested a lot of fleece tops over the years. Where the Guide Air excels is that it manages to mate 2 characteristics that rarely work together in a fleece. It is wickedly durable but still remains light and has an excellent fit. I wore the final prototype chasing elk and deer in Idaho and on a rocky, cactus-filled, juniper-choked Arizona elk hunt. For hunts where I know brush-busting is part of the equation this is the fleece I want. I see this thing lasting for many, many years.
Nice garment my run a little small I bought a large I’m 6’1” 175 still love it
The guide air fleece was the perfect layer (End of October) paired with a merino t shirt for chilly morning hikes to glassing location, warmer than I expected once sitting down glassing, I eventually did put on another layer while sitting for extended time. Quality material, fits true to size
I really like this argali grid fleece. It cut wind really well but not completely. It kept me pretty warm while sitting still and breathed like dream while I was moving around. It’s not water repellant, which it was never meant to be, but it is probably the quickest drying piece of clothing I’ve ever used. We crossed a river in a small raft and got splashed with water to the point that my pants and this fleece got very wet. It dried in about ten minutes… something to do with the air channels pulling my body heat. And I also felt like it just didn’t get in the way, so the fit is amazing! All in all I’m really happy
Great fleece, really good for a mid layer. Breaths really well and also protects from the wind.
Great fit and feel. 5’9” 182lbs and purchased a large. Feels a little snug at first but wears great. Wore over a synthetic shirt and was perfect to start the hike in 40 degree weather. Light enough to use in upper 60 degree weather.
Took the guide air fleece out last week on a 4 day mountain hunt as my mid layer over a short sleeve merino shirt. Warm days cool to cold evenings and it excelled in both. Kept me warm when it was cool but didn’t overheat me when it was warm while glassing.
Product seems great. Size is good. True to size fits well. The only thing i dont like is that the fabric seems a little scratchy.
Very nice, quality is top notch.
The Guide Air Fleece shines across a wide range of temperatures. During high-output activities, I’ve found it comfortable on its own, and with a lightweight shell I bet it would extend well into the 20s and 30s. Its breathability is what really sets it apart—it keeps you warm without trapping excess heat, making it an excellent choice for hiking, climbing, SAR, or hunting where you’re constantly transitioning between movement and short stops.
Overall great item of clothing. Great fit and very comfortable. Wish it had hand pockets.
Great quality !!! My son-in-law loved his gift !! Thank you
Guide Air Fleece - very comfortable and great fit. I like the more athletic fit over some competitor products that are somewhat baggy. This top provides decent warmth while still being breathable.
Great mid layer fit very well. Material extremely comfortable, tried it on a few hikes and it performed.
Great Product! Quality is great and fit is perfect for wearing as a midlayer. I will continue to support Argali! Great products and amazing customer service!
