Apart from during winter conditions I've found that I don't really need
a fleece, as while active I generate enough heat. However I end up
wearing more layers (fleece) due to the cooling effect of the wind.
I'm considering whether a product like the Berghaus Sandfire Windshirt
would be the answer?

I use a Montane pertex top with thin coolmax lining and it has side vents
and a chest pocket/vent. I use it summer, winter on the munros and MTb ing

It is a fantastic piece of kit and drys very quickly. It is very light.
ABout 60 kwid I think.

I'm not sure I understood the =question=. 8>. 'You don't need a fleece
but you end up wearing more layers (fleece)'?? Parser error .. reset ..

I'd pay good money for 'the cooling effect of the wind' most of the
summer, and if it gets too cool, then I find a Paclite (or similar)
over-jacket (which I'm carrying anyway, in case it rains) is also 100%
windproof.

It would indeed.

I use Montane's Featherlite smock and Lightspeed jacket which are made
from Pertex. It is very much more breathable than even the most
breathable waterproof fabrics as well as being very light and taking up
very little space.

I also have a Berghaus windshirt from a few years ago also made from
their Airfoil fabric and don't find it as good as the Montane offerings
- which are also cheaper! Berghaus may have improved their design...

The Featherlite smock can be had here for £34

I have used Up and Under before and found their service excellent.
