Our Verdict
The Kavu Wayside Fleece Jacket offers steady warmth and a comfortable fit that works well for cool-weather walking and general outdoor use. At 757g (Medium), it has a substantial feel, and the high-pile sherpa fabric provides strong insulation with a soft interior thanks to the mixed lining. The mock neck and full zip provide proper temperature control, and the relaxed fit leaves room for a base layer without feeling loose.
Corduroy panels on the chest pocket and elbows add a nice aesthetic touch and durability. The zip hand pockets are practical for keeping items secure. The fleece holds up well to regular wear, with stitching and trims that feel solid. It is not aimed at high-output activity, but rather at casual hiking and day-to-day use, and it delivers reliable warmth with a retro style.
