3 BEST FLEECE JACKETS FOR WOMEN
In today’s article, I will be sharing with you the list of the Best Fleece Jackets for Women.
Are you chilly? Fleece may be in your future.
The synthetic fabric is synonymous with cozy, and we’re pretty sure cozy is the ultimate goal.
Fleece is that surprisingly versatile fabric that can perform high-energy activities and around-the-house lounging.
It can be dressed up, dressed down, made retro, or turned urbanite.
With key qualities of warmth, breathability, and water resistance, we find fleece a necessity in our gear closet.
Fleece jackets have been providing improved levels of warmth for decades now and have become a great wardrobe staple for outdoor enthusiasts.
The polyester-based jackets are super cozy and offer decent technical performance.
There aren’t many articles of clothing as practical, light, and inexpensive as the humble fleece.
They really do keep you warm, but with so many manufacturers, styles, and prices, buying the perfect fleece can be a little overwhelming.
We’ve got the best fleece jackets for you.
Below are a few important things to consider before pulling the trigger and buying that comfy fleece you’ve been coveting.
And we’re sure that no matter what Backpacker Type you are, there’s a fleece you’ll fall for.
Patagonia Better Sweater
The Patagonia Better Sweater is a perfect fleece sweater and excels as a cozy mid-layer.
It’s thick, soft, and slimming while still being one of the warmest fleece jackets on this list.
Patagonia’s fleece products have always stood out from the market in our years of testing athletic gear.
As far as industry standards go, it’s hard to find a more well-loved fleece than the Better Sweater, and it’s one of Patagonia’s best-selling products.
Women’s REI Co-op Hyperaxis Fleece Jacket
Day hikers need a mid-layer that’s as insulating as it is stretchy and breathable.
Enter the REI Co-op Hyperaxis.
“It’s thin enough while warming up on a trail or for an early morning hike,” reports Carlos Rodriguez, a retail specialist at the Wichita, Kansas, REI store, who lovingly dubbed his jacket Old Yeller because it’s “loyal and faithful.”
Though the finish doesn’t shed moisture on drizzly days (in fact, some say the fabric tends to absorb water), it does dry quickly, says Paige Frederick-Pape, an REI retail sales specialist in Austin, Texas.
The Hyperaxis also provides slight wind resistance, and its higher collar performs the work of a gaiter (one less item to carry).
A fitted silhouette is another reason to love this layer.
The stretchy material conforms to your body more so than traditional fleece, trapping heat while providing some give.
Becca Hawkins, a Washington-based copywriter for the co-op, who typically sizes up in jackets for a roomier fit at the hips, says there’s no need with this mid-layer.
Women’s Kuhl Flight Jacket
While most companies offer similar products between men and women, Kuhl has failed to do so.
While it feels a little backward for our current time, they still make some comfortable fleece jackets that are very functional.
The design of it and the soft plush feeling is unlike any I have ever seen or felt in a women’s fleece jacket.
Perhaps that’s because it is made out of midweight Italian fleece.
This jacket has a few other notable features including vintage micro suede accents that match the rest of the jacket.
A two zippered chest and hand pockets and even a stowaway hood will create a larger collar.
I love just how warm and stylish this fleece is.
You can easily throw it on over anything and still look great!
