Warmth comparison

Polartec High Loft vs. Summit Grid: which fleece is the better buy?

Polartec High Loft is thicker, warmer, and better for static cold — camp, belay, winter hiking — while Summit Grid breathes better under a shell for high-output days. Both wash easily on cold with technical detergent; skip fabric softener and machine drying heat. Within the $57–$88 range, weight and hood options separate the price tiers. If warmth per dollar is your goal, High Loft wins; if you want a lighter, cheaper layering piece, check the Summit Grid listings and current discounts before ordering with code SAVE15.
