Women’s Dawn – Grid Fleece Mid-Layer Crewneck
Why We Made This
Dawn is when it all begins.
Early mornings, laced shoes, packed days, and that quiet excitement of stepping into whatever comes next. Whether you’re casting a fly or heading out before sunrise to bag a peak, mornings carry a little magic.
But Dawn isn’t just a time of day.
Dawn is a person—an Idaho mom, skier, and the namesake of this crewneck. She’s anyone balancing a full life while still finding time to escape to the mountains. And when she does, she doesn’t need three hoods from all those layers.
That’s why we made the Dawn Crewneck.
Built from the same breathable grid fleece as the Squak, the Dawn delivers lightweight warmth in a clean, hood-free design that layers easily under shells, jackets, and vests. Cozy without bulk and comfortable enough for everyday wear, it’s a layer that fits wherever your day takes you.

This is such a great, lightweight but warm fleece! It’s my go-to for early morning runs and hikes. Highly recommend!
Thanks for the high recommendation and for being part of the Squak community!
I couldn’t be happier with my Squak hoodies. They are very warm in the winter with a thin base layer underneath. I usually take a medium in most tops, but I had to go one size up having a layer underneath.
You can’t beat their customer service. It is superb!
I would like to see a hat made from the same fabric as their micro fleece hoodies.
Other than that I have no other suggestions.
We’re so glad to hear your hoodies are keeping you warm out there and that you had a great experience with our team! Happy trails and stay cozy!
I love this fleece. It is lighter weight than my traditional fleece. It’s way more versatile— it kept me warm without overheating and is super packable. I like a boxier fit and usually am between a medium and a large. I went with a large. It is more fitted than I expected, but still fits great.
It's awesome that this is your perfect light fleece! We're thrilled to hear it's way more versatile than your traditional fleece, keeping you warm without overheating, and that it's super packable. Even though the Large was more fitted than expected, we're glad it still fits great!
This is my go-to winter running shirt, and I can't speak highly enough about it! It's nice and warm, roomy enough for a form fitting shirt underneath, the sleeves are long enough (I am 5'10") and its very flattering. I bought a size small bc I like my shirts to be a little more form fitting and less roomy. I am about 148lbs but I carry my weight less in my upper area and more in the stomach/lower areas, so the small fits great for me. I was worried about drying it in case it shrunk and then I accidentally dried it and its the exact same. I can wear it a couple times without odor, which is also a huge plus (though, the one downside is that this isn't made from wool or a wool blend, which would reduce odor a lot). I refer this brand (and this shirt) to my friends all the time and a couple just bought this shirt too! I think they will love it :)
It's fantastic that this is your go-to winter running shirt! We're thrilled to hear it's nice and warm, the sleeves are long enough, and that the size small gives you that perfect, flattering fit. It's great to know it didn't shrink in the dryer, and we appreciate you referring the brand to your friends—hope they love the shirt as much as you do!
Exceeded expectations. So cozy and cute
