The Akita is a highly breathable outer layer for fast-paced activities like mountain biking and trail running on frosty mornings and dreary autumn days.

Lightweight, fast-drying and breathable fleece
Streamlined active fit for fast-paced activities
Soft brushed inside and durable wind-resistant outer

A super versatile lightweight fleece, the Akita combines a soft, brushed interior with a durable, smooth-face outer. This densely woven outer blocks out wind more effectively than traditional fleece fabrics, making it more suitable for wearing as an outer layer. We’ve chosen an athletic fit and a stretch fabric that moves with you, providing full mobility without the jacket flapping or getting in your way.

The stretch fabric and streamlined fit means the Akita could easily be used for climbing, clambering and scrambling. (We may have made clambering up. Sounds fun though!). And its smooth-feel outer and low-profile elasticated cuffs means it a would also double up as a useful lightweight mid layer for slower-paced activities like hillwalking.

If you find yourself beetroot-faced and sweaty mid-activity, the full-length zip means you can vent right down to your base layer to cool down. The Akita has two zipped handwarmer pockets which double up as spacious internal dump pockets for stuffing your hat and gloves mid-activity. Minimal, low-profile seams layer neatly and are comfortable under rucksack straps.
