Fleece-lined hoodies offer superior insulation to classic sweaters, and they offer a softer feeling on the inside. Some hoodies even have fleece inside the hood, making for a cozy wearing experience.

To put it simply, a fleece hoodie is a loose shirt made of uncountable hair or wool, while a regular hoodie is a loose top often made of a knit fleece. The insulation provided by fleece hoodies is remarkable for their light weight.

Hoodies can be made from either cotton or denim, with cotton being the more common choice. You can easily clean it, and it keeps you warmer and aids with breathing. But if you want to be warm, get a quality fleece fabric. It is significantly superior to cotton.

Sweatshirt fleece is usually made from cotton or polyester - or a blend - and it often includes spandex for better stretch and recovery.

polyester Fleece is a synthetic insulating fabric typically made from a type of polyester called polyethylene terephthalate (PET) or other synthetic fibres.

Hoodies with zippers usually include two pockets on the lower front, one on either side of the zipper, while "pullover" hoodies (without zippers) often include a single large muff or pocket in the same location. Both styles (usually) include a drawstring to adjust the hood opening.

Fleece fabrics are knit, and then at least one side is brushed to loosen fibers and create a nap (raised surface) for a soft, plush feel. For basic fleece sweatshirts and sweatpants, generally the inside of the garment is brushed to feel warm and soft against the skin.

With a wide variety of insulated jackets on the market, the classic fleece still is the most comfortable and affordable. These polyester jackets have been providing cozy warmth for years from campsites and ski resorts to the streets and restaurants of mountain towns.

Warmth: A hoodie guards heat across the neck, torso, and core, which help to protect all wearers from cold and wind. This heat-guarding feature helps keep muscles primed after a warm-up workout, too - hence athletes' love of hoodies as part of their performance gear.

When worn up, the hood covers most of the head and neck and sometimes the face. Hoodies may be worn for aesthetic purposes, or protection against the environment (cold weather, rain, etc.)

Fleece is a synthetic insulating fabric typically made from a type of polyester called polyethylene terephthalate (PET) or other synthetic fibres. It is very comfortable due to its light weight and anti-perspiration qualities, and allows moisture to evaporate while blocking humidity from the outside.

Fleece is perfect for cold weather and the winter months, due to its dense fabric construction and fuzzy touch. You'll find fleece hoodies, jackets, pullovers, gloves, hats, scarves, and earmuffs, and in the lining of leggings. We also love fleece-lined boots, coats, and even blankets!

What is Fleece Fabric Made Of?

A pullover hoodie is usually warmer than a zip-up. A zip-up hoodie can be layered and worn like a jacket. Both types can have a pouch front pocket. Always choose fit over fancy.

Pullover. A pullover is often used to describe a jumper or sweater. Because sweaters and jumpers don't have buttons on the front, and they are 'pulled over' your head when putting on, the name Pullover came into use as another term for the same kind of item.
