Can I wear fleece as an outer layer or only as mid-layer?

Fleece works both ways - as a thermal mid-layer under a shell, or as an outer layer in dry, cold conditions. Remember, fleece is warm and breathable, but it isn’t waterproof.

What fleece weight do I need for different activities?

The weight of fleece that you choose will determine its warmth, versatility and your ability to layer it. Lightweight fleeces (100-200gsm) are perfect for layering and provide warmth without bulk on cooler days. Midweight fleece (200-300gsm) is a great all-rounder for variable conditions, providing warmth and breathability for cold climes. Heavyweight fleece (300gsm+) gives maximum insulation against the cold but is bulkier as a mid-layer or under a shell.

Why does fleece keep you warm even when wet?

Unlike cotton which loses 90% of insulating value when wet, fleece maintains warmth because its structure traps air and is breathable so dries faster. Fleece is ideal for unpredictable weather and intense activities.
