Fleece

Fleece has long been a favourite among outdoor enthusiasts. Soft, breathable, and insulating, it keeps you warm and comfortable without feeling heavy. The word “fleece” refers to its wool-like texture and the pleasant, cosy feel that makes it ideal for active use.

Why fleece is so popular

Fleece is lightweight, quick-drying, and breathable – perfect as a mid layer for hiking, sports, or everyday wear. It efficiently wicks away moisture while retaining warmth, keeping you comfortable during activity or changing weather conditions.

Different types of fleece

Fleece comes in various weights, from lightweight 100-series for high-output activity to 200-series for daily use and 300-series for maximum warmth in cold environments. This makes it easy to choose the right fleece for your activity and climate.

Material and sustainability

Modern fleece is often made from recycled polyester (PET) derived from used plastic bottles. This makes it a sustainable choice that fits perfectly with the growing commitment of outdoor brands to use renewable and recyclable materials.

For extra protection, look for models with a windproof membrane or denser knit, such as Polartec® Windbloc® or Windstopper®. These offer warmth and added defence against the elements.
