A refined mid-layer staple for even more levels of adventure.

Same Air-Grid™ character. Still warm on cold mornings, still compresses down small for easy packing — 100% the fleece your mate keeps borrowing (and never gives back).

More breathable for active days out. The new larger grid geometry channels heat and moisture away when you're working hard, then holds warmth in the raised squares when you slow down.

Refined, relaxed, roomier fit. We re-patterned the women's cut from scratch — cleaner shoulder line, longer back drop, more room through the torso and arms — and added a safe-zip stash pocket for the essentials.

BENEFITS OF AIR-GRID FLEECE

How Air-Grid™ works

Built to breathe when you push, and hold warmth when you slow

Breathes deeply when you're working hard

The raised grid lifts the fabric off your skin and opens up air space that pulls vapour away and carries heat outward. So when the pace steps up, you vent instead of overheat.

Highly Air-Permeable
Move Freely
Prevents Overheating

Actively insulates as a mid-layer

When you slow down, that same grid traps a layer of warm air in its raised pattern. On cold camp mornings, long lunch breaks and around sundown, it holds the heat your body is making, so you stay warm without reaching for a heavier layer.

Traps Heat when Needed
Perfect Mid-layer
Super Lightweight

Designed in detail

Our design mantra is simple: before we ask you to use it, we take the time to test and refine it first. What can we say? As lifelong outdoorists ourselves, it's the perfect excuse for us to get out there.

Designed for life outdoors

Thumbholes at the cuffs for extra coverage on cold starts

Cinched hood to keep out the cold and trap in the warmth

Kangaroo pocket with a safe-zip stash for the essentials

The method behind the matrix

Air-Grid™ is our own grid-knit fleece, now in its second generation. For 2.0 we refined the knit itself: a bigger, smarter grid that sits lighter on the back and moves the way you do. Warm without the bulk, and built to be worn far more than it's washed.

100% Recycled Fibre

The whole grid is built from recycled fibres, keeping plastic in use and out of landfill, with none of the warmth traded away.

Wear-Anywhere

Light enough for the trail, easy enough for the drive home and the days in between. One fleece for most of your week.

Lifetime Warranty

We back it for the long haul. If it ever lets you down, we'll repair it or replace it.

Field Notes

As reviewed by Daygin Prescott

Zorali Trailblazer wearing the Air-Grid Fleece

Zorali's new Air-Grid is a proper upgrade on the V1, and it sits firmly in the technical mid-layer category now. The biggest difference is the weight. Zorali have found a really good balance between weight and breathability, and it's still genuinely warm.

I've been wearing it most mornings hiking and riding without getting sweaty. The old one ran a bit warm at medium output. This one doesn't.

The fit is great too. Snug enough to layer, with plenty of room to move. And I love the two fabrics: a burlier face on the outside, with that soft grid fleece against your skin. Seriously cosy.

Honestly, it's pretty sick. So stoked on this one!

2.0 The evolution of a fan-favourite

Product story

2.0 The evolution of a fan-favourite

The original Air-Grid Fleece has been on more dawn starts, dusk descents, and 5am airport runs than we can count. Across thousands of trips, two requests kept surfacing: make it roomier, and make it even more breathable. Not a different fleece — the same fleece, dialled in.

12 months. One question.

How do we improve the fit and breathability without losing what makes it a Zorali favourite? What followed was a year of fabric mills, sample rounds and side-by-side wear tests — and a lot of "almost, but not quite" — until we landed on a larger grid geometry that breathes faster when your output spikes, then quietly traps warmth again the second you stop.

To the hills and back

We re-patterned the men's and women's cuts from scratch, then tested the 2.0 prototypes through alpine dawns in the Victorian High Country, fast-and-light overnighters, and long days under shells and over base layers. Every round of testing came back with a list: cuff length, pocket reach, hood cinch tension. These aren't the things you notice on a hanger — they're the things you notice on day three (or 300).

Best warm hoody!
I own quite a few of the older version of this Air-Grid hoody and just love them. Super comfortable, baggy, love the kangaroo pouch and drawstring hoody. And the new colours, this is my favourite! I love bright colours for hiking so bring out more! I really like the new design, breathable, warm and really nice material. 🙌

My new favourite!
I bought the air grid 2.0 after my hiking buddie raved about the original design. Certainly came up to expectations! Very comfortable on a weekend hike. Love the kangaroo pouch and the new zip pocket!
Lightweight, comfortable and kept me warm when needed.

Awesome quality and practicality
I was a bit sceptical upon purchase BUT as soon as it arrived I was so impressed with the quality. The seams are perfect and the thumb loops are long and not flimsy at all. I’ve now done 4 training treks in it which started off a bit nippy and progressed to ‘getting warmer with the hills’. I didn’t need to go through the hassle of ‘pack off, top off, pack on again’ as this garment kept me at a similar temperature the whole day. It’s light, folds to small and flexible and does what it claims to do. This is my third purchase from Zorali and every time, the quality is outstanding (compared to larger brands). You get what you pay for and I’m happy to pay a bit more when something is so good and will last many treks. Great job Zorali!

Warm yet folds up small
Very happy with this purchase. The quality and fit are great, but importantly, it's not too bulky to pack for extra warmth.
