What is Fleece? A synthetic fabric (typically polyester) brushed to create a fuzzy, insulating texture.

Fleece is a knitted synthetic fabric, typically polyester, with one or both sides brushed to create a fluffy insulating surface. Fleece is light, warm, breathable, dries fast, and works when wet. Common weights: 100-weight (lightweight, transitional), 200-weight (mid-weight, the standard mid-layer), 300-weight (heavy, cold-weather). Common types: Polartec Power Stretch, Polartec Power Grid, microfleece. Skipping the cotton sweater and reaching for a quality fleece is one of the easiest wardrobe upgrades for cold weather.
