Arc’teryx Kyanite AR Half Zip
Material
The Arc’teryx Kyanite AR Half Zip is made from Polartec Power Stretch Pro fabric, which has a durable nylon face with a soft, moisture-wicking, brushed polyester interior. This piece is an absolute stud at regulating temperature, but I would not do an activity that makes me sweat in it. It’s an actual mid-layer. It’s been through the wash quite a few times, and I am not seeing any signs of pilling.
Design
The front has a half-zip to dump heat and two hand pockets with a brushed mesh interior to store items or keep your hands warm. At the top of the zipped neckline is a pad that prevents chafing when the pullover is zipped up. The hemline and cuffs are elasticized to help keep the heat in
Fit
This piece is a trim fit, but certainly not as trim as in previous years. The fabric is very stretchy and highly comfortable.

Hiking
It is a great mid-layer or a standalone piece for light hiking. This is, without a doubt, the softest fleece I own. The Kyanite AR Tech Wool Crew is also very soft.
