Fleece

There is nothing better than a fleece to stay warm! Resistant to cold and wind, our work fleeces are pleasant and comfortable to wear. When the conditions are extreme, you can wear thermal underwear.

In the professional world, wearing specific clothing is mandatory for a question of safety and comfort, especially when the weather is upsetting. The fleece is one of the essential pieces for people working outdoors. This workwear is the perfect mid-season compromise between a jacket and long sleeve t-shirt. Very popular with craftsmen, this PPE protects both against the wind and the cold. Soft and comfortable, this garment is also used by athletes who train outdoors during the winter.

Focus on the fabric: fleece jacket for men and women

Extremely warm, the fleece fabric is made of Polyethylene Terephthalate (P.E.T) fibers and other synthetic fibers. It is the hollow fibers of the P.E.T that are responsible for this ability to protect from the cold. Indeed, the fabric has insulating properties thanks to the hollow in the fiber. The latter also optimizes the permeability, texture and volume of the fabric and reduces pilling. Derived from petrochemicals, the polyester fleece garment is ecological and recyclable. It can also be designed with recycled plastic bottles.

Fleece, the best ally of workers exposed to bad weather

The fleece garment, whether it is a jacket or a blouson, has the property of retaining heat even in extreme conditions. It also stands out for its durability.

Soft, light and comfortable, fleece outfits are very popular in the professional field. Employees working in the construction sector are among the professionals who use it the most. Faced with very low temperatures, they wear lined fleece jackets or jackets to benefit from excellent thermal protection on construction sites.

Special features of fleece: fleece sweater, fleece vest, fleece sweatshirt

• Lightness

The first advantage of the fleece fabric is its lightness since it has been made from a material made for this purpose. Unlike wool, which is heavy, this textile does not absorb moisture and lets the skin breathe.

• Breathable material

The fleece is made of a breathable material that allows air to circulate from the outside to the inside and vice versa. In addition, it retains heat despite the weather. Its port is thus very pleasant.

• Waterproof clothing

Although the fleece was designed to keep you warm, it also has windproof and waterproof properties.

• Softness

Fleece clothing is very popular in the working world because of its softness on the skin. In addition, it dries quickly. Which means that this work suit can be reused immediately after rain showers.

• A compressible fabric

Being compressible, the fleece is easy to store and does not take up much space. At the same time, it is very discreet under a vest or a work parka.

Fleece or down jacket?

Versatile, fleece clothing is very popular in areas requiring intense effort and subject to extreme dry or wet conditions, such as in construction. It dries quickly and insulates even when wet.

Lightweight and compressible, the down jacket is slower to dry due to its vulnerability to water. It is therefore recommended in dry weather and in low to medium intensity trades.
