Are you looking for something more performance-centric for mild-weather runs?

Can you sling it over your shoulders or stuff it into a backpack?

No one likes the feeling of being stuck with deadweight when youre on the go.

Best Layers - Dynamic Fleece Pullover Hoodie for Women (3)

(Even if that deadweight is very, very cozy.)

The tees, tanks, and shirts that came out on top are listed below.

Ultimately, the semi-boxy cut, pastel colorways, and soft fabric elevate a wardrobe staple.

3:4 Alo Accolade Crew Neck Pullover

Available in sizes XS to 4X.

Alo Accolade Crew Neck Pullover

Alo Yoga

This simple crew neck can do no wrong.

Its a unisex pullover (so sizes run a bit big) made from soft, light French terry.

Best Layers - Spacedye Everyday Hoodie

While certainly on the pricier side for a sweatshirt, our testers loved its pre-worn feel and supersoft stitching.

The inside is soft, and its roomy, but not so much that it looks frumpy."

Available in sizes XXS to 2XL (22).

Best Layers - Women’s Armour Fleece® ¼ Zip

Its lovely in every way, one tester said.

It’s stretchy, soft, and kept me warm on crisp days.

While its certainly not cheap, a tester asserted that the quality and functionality is worth the price point.

Best Layers - Men’s UA Essential Fleece Full-Zip Hoodie

This style runs true to sizeif youd like a skintight fit, we recommend sizing down.

This is exactly the jot down of midlayer I dream of wearing, one tester said.

The fleece lining feels very high-qualityfuzzy and cozy but low-profile.

Best Layers -  Women’s Classic Thermal Merino Base Layer Crew Plus

Take note: This fleece does get warm, so its best for chillier days.

Available in sizes XS to XXL.

Additional sizes up to 3X available in a similar stylehere.

Kindred Bravely Bamboo Nursing & Maternity Crew Pullover

(Which is why we also think its an excellent gift, if youre not shopping for yourself.)

Available in sizes XS to 3XL.

One of our testers wore this shirt on a four-mile hike through snowy mountains in 32-degree weather.

I like that the body of the shirt was fitted but the sleeves were slightly loose, she said.

That offered the mobility I need when hiking and scrambling.

The material was very soft, not itchy at all, and comfortable.

In fact, she said it was so comfortable, shed sleep in it during a backpacking trip too.

Available in sizes XS to 3X.

Light and not bulky, but warm!
