Fleece suits

Fleece began its triumphant march through the world of fabrics in 1979. From the English language "flees" translates as cropped goat hair without treatment. Of course, this does not apply to modern analogues of the material, and today they mean a kind of alternative to wool, which is made from polyester fiber, as fleece. So nowadays fleece clothing is a synthetic fiber.

The basis of the material is knitted polyester fabric. It does not absorb water and is considered to be more breathable than synthetic wool. Fleece 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 during the cold season.

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

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

General material defects:

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

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

Fleece suits are great for the off-season, when there are no heavy frosts on the street. Their undeniable advantage is a beautiful design that suits both men and women.

For the stronger sex beauty is not the 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, they know, in order to get to the right place, sometimes you have to wade through real jungle. It is important that the clothes do not tear and do not cling to the branches.

Another popular option is a suit with canvas inserts. It is positioned to wear mainly in the cold season. The waterproofness of this suit is ensured by polyester. The neck is protected from the wind by a high collar on the jacket. Down from blowing the jacket is equipped with an elastic belt.

For the female half, it is important that the "suit was sitting." In fleece suits, ladies prefer to go in for sports outdoors. Due to the thermal qualities of the material and the ease of wearing it, for jogging and exercise in nature, this form is ideal.

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 absorbs moisture poorly and dries slowly, rolling down. For tracksuits, fleece must be fully synthetic.

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

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

For sports ladies who are ready to practice their figure at any time of the year - even the most severe, especially warmed clothing options are invented. In hoody with a high collar, waistcoat on top and comfortable sports trousers to engage in the fresh air will be a pleasure.

A fleece "two" will be a good home suit. If heaters do not work well in your home, such an outfit will be a real salvation. Pale pink color range looks especially cozy.

Men are not so important stylish look for fishing: salmon or groupers are unlikely to appreciate their costume. However, if practicality and functionality of clothes is combined with modern stylish trends, then why not? Multi-colored laces in pockets and a beige range of clothes will look advantageous against the background of dark waters. And valiant hunters will be satisfied with camouflage.
