First impressions
The acronym in Haglöfs L.I.M. collection stands for Less is More, and the top-end Swedish outdoor brand have taken this concept to the nth degree with the ZT II Air midlayer, which literally seems to feature as much air as it does tangible product. I was genuinely quite surprised when I first got my hands on this top, which has what can only be described as a highly porous design – a bit like, well, a teabag. It certainly doesn’t look like your standard fleece jacket – not least because it’s not made from fleece. Instead this midlayer is constructed with Polartec Power Dry, a (mostly) synthetic material, and it has an extremely open weave, so you see right through it – and the wind cuts right through it too.
