Sustainability and Product Care
It’s hard to think of a more useful piece of outdoor clothing than the micro fleece top, the most fundamental of fleeces. Thrown on time after time for weightless warmth, unbeatable breathability and instant snugness.
Reassuring in its simplicity, the Kelpie is fast drying after a soaking, light and compact for shoving into rucksacks and functions fantastically layered under a wind or rain shell, allowing sweat to exit with ease. In a wardrobe packed with clothing for specific conditions, it’s the layer you’ll never regret packing.
The Kelpie is a slightly relaxed fit, with low profile seams placed to prevent rucksack rubbing, and a subtle marl effect running through the brushed fleece material. A quarter zip helps you to adjust your central heating and a chin guard maintains that superior softness.
Key Features
- Highly breathable as a mid-layer underneath outer shells, allowing sweat to pass through easily
- Fast-drying and wicking to keep you warm and dry and for ease of washing
- Quarter zip neck to regulate your temperature during activities
- Low-profile seams off-set from the shoulders to prevent rubbing under rucksacks
- Excellent warmth to weight ratio provides effective insulation without weighing down rucksacks
- 3 Year Alpine Bond

Reducing our carbon footprint
We are carbon neutral under PAS2060 and offset our Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 operations and transport emissions. We recognise that offsetting is not part of the solution but a point to pass through on a journey to Net Zero. Carbon Neutral is just a step in that journey.
We have joined the Science Based Targets Initiative which sets independent targets for us to achieve to do our bit to limit global warming to 1.5°C. Our targets are to halve our Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 2025 based on 2018 base year and reduce our total carbon intesnity by 15% every year to achieve genuine net zero by 2050.
