Leupold Make Ready 1/4 Zip Fleece Jacket Iron Gray L

The Leupold Make Ready 1/4 Zip Fleece Jacket in Iron Gray is built for shooters who need a dependable mid-layer that works hard both at the range and in the field. Whether you're training in cold conditions, heading to a match, or just need an extra layer for everyday wear, this jacket delivers the warmth and functionality that active shooters demand. The anti-pill fleece resists snags and abrasions while holding heat effectively, so you stay comfortable without bulk.

What sets this jacket apart is its shooter-first design. The side zips give you holster access, so you can carry concealed or open without wrestling with fabric, and your draw remains quick and uncompromised. That attention to detail extends to the beard-proof collar lining—a small feature that makes a real difference if you don't keep a clean shave, protecting your whiskers from zipper snags. The result is a jacket that feels at home in the truck, at the gym, or under a winter coat, but never gets in the way when it matters.

Lightweight enough to layer but insulating enough to stand alone, the Make Ready 1/4 Zip handles temperature swings without forcing you to choose between warmth and mobility. It's the kind of gear that earns a permanent spot in your range bag or truck because it simply works, whether the conditions are mild or brutal.

Is this jacket suitable for range training and shooting competitions?

Absolutely. It's designed with shooters in mind and works well for training sessions, matches, and range days, especially in cold conditions. The anti-pill fleece is durable enough for frequent use.

Does the zipper catch facial hair?

No. The collar features a beard-proof lining that protects your beard or whiskers from zipper snags, so comfort isn't compromised if you don't keep a clean shave.

Can this jacket be worn as a standalone layer or does it work better as a mid-layer?
