Thanks m8 i will take a lookI have the Allez pull on. I find it fine down to about 8 degrees as a mid layer. Prefer something a bit warmer in the winter. Really like the fit and hood design of the Arcteryx Konseal but it is about double the weight of the Allez.
Cheers i will have a lookI use an allez as a base layer, it’s not a warm sit around fleece. Decathlon do surprisingly light traditional fleeces, worth a look and a bargain price.
For winter, I like the MH Monkey Man series, though they're somewhat heavier or something else in Polartec High Loft. I have an Alpha Flash on the way, which I hope will be the same warmth at a lighter weight.Another Allez fan here, but only as a base layer, not an outer.
Topped off with the Rab Alpha flash Which is light and lovely and a windproof over the top makes a nice versatile combo.
In fact i am wearing it right now.

In summer I use a Rab AL, a grid like the Allez but heavier warmer material. The Rab Baseline is another step up in warmth and weight.
Thanks bud im inbetween sizes in ME sizing. Ive got a ME lhotse in small,and fits ok but a lot slimmer than i am used to,but bulky fleeces are not going to work.Having had a my last shell for 9 yrs i had a good layering system that i knew what worked in different temps. Probably makes sense to get the small!I sized up one, more or less (usually M, sometimes L, almost all my outdoor kit is M, got an L). It’s a perfect fit for what I want. An M would be baselayer-tight I think.
Thanks enzoRe Allez, agree with everyone else, polartec powerdry grid is designed to move moisture not as a thermal layer. under a windshirt or even a wpb layer they are imho fantastic at making you feel dry even when your outer layer is wet. as long as your producing the kwh. my goto winter base layer under synthetic insulation.
also very light for a hoody at 180g in L.
I have one in green, it's probably my favourite piece of clothing in the hiking closet!This looks a bargain with good features https://www.decathlon.co.uk/sh500-m-warm-blk-l-sl-t-shirt-id_8502487.html
and very cheap.
