Our take
Columbia's Steens Mountain is a long-running budget fleece zip-up that delivers genuine outdoor warmth at an accessible price. It uses a mid to heavy MTR filament polyester fleece with zippered hand pockets, an adjustable drawcord hem and a collar that stands up against wind. Owners cite the warmth-for-money and the resistance to pilling as the reasons it stays in rotation for years, with the trade-offs being a boxy, untapered cut and a basic, non-technical look. It is a dependable cold-weather layer rather than a fashion piece.
