Aulp Vista Fleece

The Aulp Vista Fleece is a women’s sherpa fleece designed to provide softness and warmth during mountain outings and everyday wear. Designed by the AULP brand, which was founded in Haute-Savoie, it’s aimed at winter sports enthusiasts looking for a snug mid-layer without sacrificing practicality. Its windproof stand-up collar makes it a versatile piece, just as comfortable under a ski jacket as it is worn on its own on milder days. Available in three colors, it naturally integrates into a layering system to adapt your outfit to temperature changes.

Sherpa and jersey: cozy warmth in the heart of the mountains

The Vista features an all-polyester construction, combining two complementary textures: sherpa on the inside and jersey on the outside. Thanks to its dense looped knit, the sherpa creates a pocket of warm air against the body and provides an immediate feeling of softness. This double-sided structure allows the fleece to effectively retain the heat generated by physical activity, while remaining lightweight to wear. The outer jersey offers a smooth surface that makes it easy to slip on under a jacket and minimizes friction during the repetitive movements typical of mountain activities.

A high collar designed to block the wind

One of the distinctive features of the Aulp Vista Fleece is its windproof high collar, which protects the neck and nape without requiring an additional neck gaiter. In the mountains, wind conditions change frequently and are often underestimated: this high collar acts as a first thermal barrier in exposed areas. It effectively complements the layering system by filling the gap between the jacket and the face, where heat loss is most significant.

Features and Practicality for Use as a Mid-Layer

The Vista’s construction features elasticated hems that keep the fleece in place during movement and prevent it from riding up under the jacket. These details contribute to the garment’s overall comfort, particularly during periods of intense activity when stability is essential. Designed to fit easily into a layering system, it works just as well as a mid-layer under a ski or snowboard jacket as it does as a standalone piece during breaks or when moving between runs.

The Aulp Vista Fleece combines the essential qualities of a sherpa midlayer—warmth, softness, and practicality—in a garment designed for skiwear and mountain activities in the broadest sense. It’s ideal for female athletes who want reliable gear that’s easy to layer and comfortable in cold or windy conditions.
