Trailsmith Fleece Pullover

A classic and durable option from REI Co-op, this fleece pullover is great for keeping warm without being too bulky. With the exact same design as the pullover from the 1992 REI catalog, its only difference is the source of material.

Unlike the original, this option is made with 80 percent recycled materials for a far more sustainable choice. That said, it still comes with the classic ’90s REI logo.
