Layering: Designed to work over a base layer or underneath a waterproof jacket
Movement: Comfortable shape gives you room to reach, bend and move
Body: Longer cut at the back gives extra coverage and helps prevent the top riding up

Women's Microfleece Top
The Leithen is the kind of top that ends up being worn everywhere. The reviews back that up. A women's microfleece top in super-soft 210gsm fleece — warm, lightweight and versatile enough to wear as a mid layer next to the skin on cold days or on its own when the temperature is mild enough not to need anything on top. At just 300g it barely registers but holds its own when the cold moves in.
Long cut back keeps your kidneys warm and stays put when you're wearing a pack or reaching into the work. High collar for when the cold finds your neck. Long lightweight zip for easy temperature control without taking it off. Snug cuffs stay where they're put. Wear it on the hill, at the yard or wherever the day takes you.

Leithen Top
I brought this for my partner and she absolutely loves it.
Really there is no more a man need say except I am about to purchase as second for her in a colour that previously was not available.

Leithen Top - Great but NO Pockets at all!
Love it, great weight, colour, actually love the long length even though I am short - but no pockets for keys phone - Really disappointed.
Thumb holes are always good too.
Good value if it had pockets.

Leithen top
Microfleece, lightweight and warm, great for around the house outdoor winter jobs. Replacing an old favourite. A bit longer than expected, otherwise sizing is fine.
