Fleece jackets are known to be exceptionally soft, immensely warm, highly breathable, and extremely versatile. These factors have a direct impact on their popularity.
Now that the temperatures are starting to drop and the winter months are quickly approaching, it is time to start your winter clothes shopping. While it is true that you may require warm pants and shirts for your wardrobe, starting with your jacket is an absolute necessity.
One of the best options currently on the market are fleece jackets. In this brief guide, you will be introduced to 3 factors that should be considered when on the market for a fleece for the upcoming winter months.
Weights
When shopping for a fleece jacket, it is imperative that you understand that there are varying weights currently available on the market. This material is actually categorized by its weight.
It is measured in grams per square yard. The higher the weight, the higher level of warmth that it provides. Lightweight options are idea as a base layer or as an outer layer if you plan on hiking, performing a sport or exercising. Midweight is highly versatile.
It may be worn as either an outer layer or a mid-layer. Heavyweight is ideal for wearing in the coldest temperatures, as it provides the highest level of warmth.
Breathability
In the earliest history of fleece jackets, it was not considered to be a breathable type of fabric; however, innovations have resulted in the material now being considered the material with the highest amount of breathability.
If you want your jacket to have a high level of breathability, do not opt for those that include inner or outer layering materials. If you want to maintain the highest level of heat when wearing the jacket, go for those with additional layering.
Purpose
The third factor to consider when buying fleece jackets is the purpose in which you plan to use the apparel. If you are simply looking for something that will keep you extremely warm during the winter months, it is best to choose a heavyweight fleece jacket.
If you will be layering your clothing, or something to add a bit of comfort to your underlying apparel, you should buy a lightweight styled fleece jacket. If you are in the market for something a bit more versatile – that can be worn for warmth or as a layering piece – you should definitely choose midweight fleece jackets.
