Fleece suits

Fleece began its triumphant march through the world of fabrics in 1979. From English, "flees" is translated as sheared goat hair without processing. Of course, this does not apply to modern analogues of the material, and today fleece is understood as a kind of alternative to wool, which is made from polyester fiber. So in our time, the composition of fleece clothing is a synthetic fiber.

The basis of the material is a knitted fabric made of polyester. It does not absorb water and is considered more breathable compared to synthetic wool. Fleece was appreciated by people who are accustomed to lead an active lifestyle and athletes. Clothing made from this fabric has become an excellent option for relaxing in the cold season.

Fleece clothing has both opponents and supporters. The latter, by the way, are much more. Let's see what the key properties of this fabric are and why it is difficult to replace fleece with another material.

Material advantages:

• Thanks to the production technology, fleece retains heat, even when wet.
• It takes up little space and, accordingly, has a small weight.
• The fabric "breathes".
• Differs in the high durability and wear resistance.
• Elastic.
• Does not cause allergic reactions.
• Dries quickly.
• Easy to wear.
• It's easy to care for.
• Good looking.

It is worth noting that the shortcomings of fleece materials are associated with the heterogeneity of the interpretation of the concept. “Fleece” today refers to a whole group of materials, each of which has its own manufacturer with its own fabric synthesis technologies. Therefore, when choosing such a suit, you should pay attention to whose material it is and carefully study the care instructions.

General disadvantages of the material:

• The ability to accumulate static electricity.
• Easy flammability.
• Poor interaction with solvents.
• High price.

Opponents of fleece clothing point to the synthetic composition of fabrics as the main drawback. In turn, it is worth remembering that such a popular filler as a synthetic winterizer is also not of natural origin. And natural down suits are too warm and not suitable for sports activities. Plus, they are much more expensive.

Fleece suits are perfect for the off-season, when the weather has not yet come to severe frosts. Their indisputable advantage is a beautiful design that suits both men and women.

The following specific fleece clothing is distinguished:

• Thermal underwear.
• Sports uniforms.
• Clothing for climbers.
• Clothes for hunters.
• Clothes for fishermen.
• Winter suits.
• Hiking suits.
• Overalls.

In addition, fleece material is sewn:

• Mittens.
• Socks.
• Blankets.
• Plaids.
• Shirts.
• Pants.
• Shorts.
• Sweaters.

For the stronger sex, beauty is not a determining factor when choosing clothes. The main thing is functionality. Therefore, the following requirements are imposed on men's fleece suits:

• High strength.All lovers of an active lifestyle - fishing and mountaineering, know that in order to get to the right place, sometimes you have to wade through real jungle. It is important that the clothes are not torn and do not cling to the branches.
• Water resistance.
• The ability of a material to retain heat for a long time.
• Wind protection.
• Practicality.

Fleece suits for men have many models and styles. Depending on the season (winter, autumn, spring, summer), many varieties of fleece clothing have been created for a variety of purposes. Therefore, the costumes are different from each other:

• Color.
• The location of the fasteners.
• The number of pockets.
• The presence of rubber bands.
• material density.

The standard model for fishing at any time of the year is a jacket and trousers. Inside the trousers are continued with nylon. The water resistance of this garment is 50 cm. This suit is suitable even for hot seasons, as this fleece is breathable. In this model, we can see a pair of warm pockets so as not to freeze your hands.

Another popular option is a suit with canvas inserts. It is positioned to be worn predominantly in the cold season. The water resistance of this suit is ensured by the polyester. The neck is protected from the wind by a high collar on the jacket. At the bottom of the blowing jacket is equipped with an elastic waistband.

For the female half, it is important that the “suit sits”. In fleece suits, ladies prefer to play outdoor sports. Thanks to the thermal qualities of the material and the ease of wearing it, for jogging and exercising in nature, this shape is ideal.

We can meet the following offers in stores:

• Three-piece suits. As a rule, the set includes sports trousers, a warmed spacious jumper and a vest.As a rule, the vest already goes on a synthetic winterizer. In principle, resourceful girls combine costume elements with other clothes too.
• Two-piece suits. They consist of trousers and a jacket. It is customary to wear such suits either at home or in gyms, as their material differs in density.

As practice shows, men prefer suits of dark tones or special camouflage colors so as not to stand out when hunting in the forest.

As for the girls, they have certain trends in wearing a fleece tracksuit:

• For outdoor activities, blue, purple, red colors are selected.
• For exercises at home, colors can be softer: pink, blue, beige, lilac, green.
• Often choose sportswear in floral or animal colors.
• Women's costume can be decorated with drawings or appliqués.

It must be remembered that fleece fabric has features depending on the production technology and differs in:

• The composition of the fibers.
• thickness.
• Density.

Fleece, which contains artificial and natural fibers in its composition, is not in demand in conditions of high humidity. Such material does not absorb moisture well and dries slowly, rolls down. For tracksuits, fleece must be fully synthetic.

For fishing and hunting suits, it is better to take non-fluffy material, so it rolls less. But the intermediate layer can be from any fabric.

Caring for fleece is easy: you just need to follow the instructions.

• Wash clothes at 30°C or below.
• Do not use bleach and chlorine-based bleaches when washing.
• Spinning should take place at a speed of 800-900 rpm.
• Fleece does not require ironing.
• After washing, wet fleece fabric should be wrung out well by hand, so it dries faster.

The following fleece density is distinguished for different purposes:

• Minimum. Thermal underwear, light trouser and tracksuits are made from such fabric.
• Average density 100. Used for sewing warm underwear, T-shirts and jumpers.
• Density 200. Differs in ease at carrying and the maximum preservation of heat. This is most often taken for fishing and hiking.
• Density 300. A suit made of such fabric will protect you from bad weather even in Antarctica.

There are certain nuances about how to wear fleece clothing correctly:

• Due to the production of static electricity in this type of fabric, it is not recommended to wear fleece clothing on a naked body. This is bad for the human body.
• Be sure to wear underwear up to the "fleece" layer. In this case, the heat will be well preserved.
• In order not to sweat on the street in such clothes, you need to wear something on top of the fleece: a light windbreaker, for example.

Bright costumes with prints of cartoon characters are considered fashionable. For example, both grown-up girls and little girls will be delighted with a cute bright red three-piece suit: “Hello, kitty”.

For sports ladies who are ready to exercise their figure at any time of the year - even the most severe, especially insulated clothing options have been invented. A turtleneck hoodie, top vest and comfy sweatpants will make your outdoor adventures a breeze.

A fleece "deuce" will become a successful home suit. If the heaters in your house do not work well, then such an outfit will be a real salvation. Pale pink gamma of color looks especially cozy.

For men, a stylish look on a fishing trip is not so important: salmon or perch are unlikely to appreciate their suit. However, if the practicality and functionality of clothing is combined with modern stylish trends, then why not? Multi-colored laces at the pockets and a beige range of clothes will look advantageous against the backdrop of dark waters. And valiant hunters will be satisfied with the camouflage.

Many well-known brands today use fleece fabrics for tailoring outerwear. Try to choose those companies that specialize in the production of sportswear or suits for outdoor activities. So you definitely will not lose with the quality of the desired material.
