Frequently Asked Questions
When should you wear a women's fleece jacket?
On its own in mid-season, or layered under a waterproof jacket when it's cold and wet. As an insulating layer, it keeps you warm while staying breathable: adjust it to suit your effort and the temperature to stay comfortable.
Is the women's fleece warm?
Yes: its fabric traps warm air for a great warmth-to-weight ratio. The weight determines how warm it is: lighter for activity, thicker for breaks and bitter cold. It breathes and dries quickly.
Fleece or wool for hiking?
Synthetic fleece dries faster and weighs less; wool (merino) regulates temperature well and limits odours. Some fleeces blend both. The choice depends on your priority: drying time/weight or natural regulation.
How to choose the right size for your fleece?
Choose a fit that's snug but not tight, so it layers easily under a jacket without squashing your insulation. Check you've got full freedom through the shoulders and arms for walking and scrambling without restriction.
