Beyond sent me a sample of their Alpha Aura fleece to check out about a year ago, and I don’t know that I’ve taken it off since. It is, simply put, the perfect layer. It keeps me warm in situations where a puffer jacket would be overkill, but breathes like a champ whenever I work up a sweat. It’s my go-to for everyone from running in the shoulder seasons to heading to the grocery store. Despite this near constant use, it basically looks like new, which is a testament to the quality Beyond puts into the gear the produce.
