Fleece Jackets

Fleece jackets for skiing, snowboarding and everyday wear

Fleece jackets are a reliable choice when you want extra warmth without feeling heavy or bulky, whether you're on the mountain or in everyday settings. Here you'll find a dependable selection of fleece jackets that work both as mid-layers for winter sports and as lightweight outer layers on cool days.

Fleece is quick-drying, breathable and easy to move in, making it ideal for everything from skiing and snowboarding to walks and commuting. Consider whether you'll mainly wear your fleece under a shell jacket in freezing conditions or as your only jacket during transitional seasons, as that will help you choose the right thickness and fit.

How to choose the right fleece jacket

When choosing a fleece jacket, it mainly comes down to fit, warmth and how you plan to use it. Use the points below as a checklist before adding to your basket. Here you'll find a strong range of clothing options.

• Fit: Close-fitting models are ideal as a mid-layer under a ski or snowboard jacket. A slightly looser fit works well if you also plan to wear your fleece as an outer layer for everyday use.
• Size: Choose your normal size if you’ll mainly wear it on its own. If it’s going under a shell jacket, a slightly thinner model or going half a size down can help reduce bulk and allow better freedom of movement.
• Warmth level: Thin fleece is suitable for high-intensity activity and milder weather, while thicker fleece works well for cold days, breaks on the mountain and low activity levels.
• Material and structure: Classic microfleece is lightweight and soft, while knitted or sherpa fleece usually feels warmer and more wind-resistant. Look for reinforced panels on high-wear areas.
• Activity type: For skiing and snowboarding, a full front zip, high collar and possibly a hood are practical. For everyday wear, you might prioritise pockets, style and whether it works as a transitional jacket.

Also consider details such as thumb loops, an adjustable hem and zip pockets, especially if you use your fleece jacket actively and want to keep your phone and lift pass secure.
