Based on the Bellarine Peninsula, I’m Elise Greenwood, co-founder of Zorali. Life here moves between coastlines, trails, and changing conditions, which is exactly what shaped the Air Grid Fleece. We designed it to solve a simple challenge: a lightweight mid-layer that balances warmth and breathability as your day shifts between stillness and movement. After plenty of real-world testing, it’s become a permanent piece in my pack.

#1: A versatile mid-layer fit for four seasons

Air-Grid Fleece is a comfy mid-layer for a variety of climates, terrains and activities. Summer, autumn, winter, spring: it’s the kind of cosy you’ll want to take everywhere, always.

#2: Traps heat and breathes

Using a geometric construction of 100% recycled fibres, Air-Grid© is designed to increase air space against the body, absorb vapor from the skin and transfer it into the air. Keeping you dry, warm and comfortable, even when the terrain’s anything but.

#3: 100% Recycled Microgrid Fabric

Air-Grid Fleece works hard to make you comfortable in a range of conditions. And because it’s made from 100% recycled polyester fleece, it’s working hard for the planet too.

#4: Everyday good looks, with technical prowess

With mountains of street appeal, Air-Grid Fleece is a highly functional hiking fleece you can wear around town. Show it off. Or keep the thumb hooks, hood cord adjustment, and thermodynamic performance to yourself.

#5: Weighs just 330 grams

Weighing less than a couple of apples, Air-Grid Fleece won’t weigh you down. And folds away so flat you don’t know it’s there. Until you need it.

Get to know Elise - Co-Founder of Zorali

What first made you care about getting other people outside?
I think it started from experiencing how much nature can shift your perspective. It’s not just about being outside, it’s what happens to you when you are. Things feel simpler. You think clearer. You slow down in a way modern life rarely lets you.

And over time it became less about my own time outdoors, and more about wanting other people to feel that too.

What do you think people are missing when they spend too much time indoors?
I think we lose that sense of scale. The reminder that we’re part of something much bigger. Even a short time outside can bring you back into yourself in a really grounding way.

What’s a moment where you felt like the outdoors genuinely helped someone?
A customer recently sent me a message that really stuck with me. They came along to one of our meetups on their own and ended up meeting someone there who actually lived just around the corner from them.

They got chatting and realised they both had the same goal of doing an overnight hike but didn’t want to go alone, so two weeks later they went out and did it together.

It’s such a simple story, but for me it says everything. These are the kinds of moments that remind us why we do what we do.

One bit of advice you’ll always remember?
Life is better lived fully, not carefully.

One tip to share with budding outdoors people?
Getting into the outdoors can feel overwhelming at first. I remember not really knowing what to bring or how to approach my first overnight hike.

But over time, it becomes part of your rhythm. What once feels intimidating slowly becomes familiar.

Start small. Make mistakes. Learn as you go. The bigger adventures build from there.
