Klamath Range Ii Half Zip men's

Use:

• Ideal as a versatile mid-layer under an outer jacket in colder climates, or as a lightweight outer layer during activities in moderately cold conditions, thanks to its super-lightweight design that doesn't add unnecessary bulk.
• Designed for outdoor enthusiasts, perfect for activities such as hiking and walking, where a garment that offers functional warmth and allows for good body temperature management is required.
• Its design by Columbia aims to offer a practical and efficient solution to combat light to moderate cold outdoors, maintaining comfort and freedom of movement, being a fundamental garment in the layering system and also suitable as a second layer for greater warmth.

Features:

• Half-zip (½ Zip) design that allows for customizable ventilation according to activity intensity and weather conditions, as well as making it easier to put on and take off the garment.
