Fleece vests – versatile companions for daily life and expeditions!

Fleece Gilets Not only are fleece vests ideal for daily wear, but also for athletic activities! Fleece keeps you warm, is low-maintenance and even after a longer period of wear, you can simply throw the fleece vest in the washing machine. The durable polyester fibres will look great, even after several wears and washes. In addition, fleece vests are quick-drying, which is super convenient whilst travelling and on expeditions! Another great feature is their insulating properties, which works wonders even if they gets damp. When compared to heavy wool jumpers, fleece vests provide much more freedom of movement. Plus, they’re super lightweight, which is a great advantage when you have to pack light. Their moisture-repellent effect ensures that moisture on the inside is transported through the fabric to the outside to where it can evaporate. Both fleece vests and fleece jackets are incredibly soft, warm and don’t uncomfortably rub against your skin to ensure maximum comfort. Fleece vests allows an array of layering possibilities: for example, you can wear it over a longsleeve shirt to keep your body warm during a walk or you can wear it under a hardshell jacket for optimal insulation.

Which fleece is best for which activity?

Fleece vests come in different material thicknesses, so each one has its specialty. The weight of fleece is typically around 100 or 200gsm, which is calculated by the fabric’s weight per square metre. If you need to pack light when touring, you should choose a lighter material, such as the 100gsm fleece because it’s thinner than a 200gsm fleece and therefore lighter in weight. A thicker fleece vest is recommended when it’s very cold or when you're at higher altitudes. You can also opt for a warm fleece jacket with articulated sleeves for great freedom of movement.
