Staying warm and comfortable over the winter months can be difficult as big bulky jumpers can weigh you down and be uncomfortable difficult to wear under your waterproof jacket. The
Mountain Warehouse women’s fleeces are the perfect winter warmer.
Made from polyester, fleece comes in a variety of weights, meaning that it will differ in its warmth and breathability. The Mountain Warehouse women’s fleece jackets and fleece tops are suitable for many different uses and are particularly popular with walkers. Fleece is a great alternative for sensitive skin and for those who cannot wear wool.
Our women’s fleeces perfect to be worn as part of a
layering system combined with a
base layer and
waterproof jacket. Depending on the severity of the conditions you expect to encounter you can choose from a lightweight fleece top to the warmest windproof fleece jacket to wear as one of your layers. Layering your clothing is the most effective way to ensure you are kept warm and while outdoors in harsh conditions.
Which fleece do you choose?
If you are looking for an extremely lightweight fleece the best option is microfleece. A microfleece top will offer a low level of insulation making it perfect for going out in milder weather. The Mountain Warehouse women’s microfleece range is breathable and ideal to be worn as part of your layering system.
A mid- weight fleece is the most versatile fleece type, our women’s mid-weight fleece tops are the perfect fleeces for walking and hiking and for everyday wear. Mid-weight fleeces will offer more insulation, comfort and breathability than a microfleece due to the thicker composition. On colder days the Mountain Warehouse mid-weight fleeces are perfect to wear under your waterproof outer layer for extra warmth.
On the really cold days you need a thicker fleece, fleece jackets are exceptionally warm and can be windproof. On cold, but dry days a MountainWarehouse women’s fleece jackets could be worn as a shell jacket, although they are still light enough wear under your rain jacket should you require the warmth.
A good quality fleece will be anti pill meaning the material will not bobble up as it rubs against your other layers while moving. This will ensure that your fleece remains looking like new even after multiple wears and washes.
