Fleece Characteristics
Light and warm
The most distinctive feature of fleece is that it is lightweight and warm. By brushing the fibers, it creates a layer of air between the fibers, which retains warmth and prevents it from escaping, thus demonstrating excellent insulation properties.
Breathability
Fleece fabric has breathability that allows air to circulate. As it reduces the likelihood of becoming stuffy even during high-intensity activities, it is suitable as insulation when you are active.
Dries quickly even when wet
The material used to make fleece, polyester, has low moisture absorption and excellent quick-drying properties. It maintains comfort during activities even when perspiration during activities.
Features that enhance comfort
Zip End Guard
The zipper slider is designed to avoid contact with the chin. This not only prevents the discomfort of cold metal touching the skin when the zipper is chilled by cool air temperatures, but also considers safety aspects by preventing metal coming into contact with skin in severe cold.
Thumb hole
By inserting your thumb through these holes, you can prevent cold air from entering your sleeves and keep your hands warm up to the back of your hand.

Revive your worn-out fleece!
Long-fiber fleece tends to become matted in areas such as the elbows and cuffs with prolonged use. This is caused by the fleece fibers becoming entangled due to friction. When the fabric becomes matted and loses its thickness, it leads to a decrease in insulation. In such cases, vigorously brush the fabric using a pet slicker brush or a nylon shoe brush to raise the nap. This will lift the fibers, restoring the soft, fluffy texture.
