Benefits of Nylon & Fleece
If you’re looking for a cheaper alternative to wool, fleece is a great option. It helps to keep you warm to a similar degree, but doesn’t come with the heaviness or itching feeling wool can often create. Not only that, but it’s much easier to clean. You won’t have to worry about shrinking sweaters in your dryer! In fact, fleece tend to dry naturally very quickly, so you can wear it while camping or hiking in damp areas without worrying about getting too cold.
Nylon is commonly seen in common goods like umbrellas, swimwear, tights, and undergarments, but it also makes excellent outerwear material. It’s perfect for rainy days and damp expeditions like canoeing. If you’re looking for versatility and warmth, you can choose a nylon jacket with a fleece lining this upcoming winter.
Weather Guard Softshell
For a resistant and warm piece any outdoor adventurer will love, check out the Weather Guard Softshell. This super soft fabric features both a fleece insulation and a waterproof outer shell, so in just one layer you’ll be protected from many extreme weather conditions like rain, ice, and cold winds.
Don’t worry, you won’t be stuck with stiff movement either. This material allows you to bend, move, ski, snowboard, trek, cycle, and climb with ultimate flexibility. If you’re on-the-go this winter and don’t want to be held down by even lighter fabrics like a fleece and nylon combination, construct your next jacket, pants, or gloves from the Weather Guard Membrane.
3-Ply Microfleece
Another excellent choice is the 3-Ply Microfleece, which has a soft shell, 100% nylon face, and polyester micro fleece backing.
