Columbia’s collection of fleece jackets with hoods for women ensures you can face unpredictable weather during hiking adventures, commutes in the city and everything in between. Combining comfort, protection and style, our popular hooded fleeces are also lightweight and quick and easy to pack into a bag. They make an excellent jacket for travelling and everyday errands.

Our hooded fleeces also come in a range of colours and designs, ensuring there’s a model for everyone. Not only that, but many of our versatile, warm fleeces also include protection against light rain, thanks to our brand’s patented waterproof technology, ensuring you stay dry and allowing you to stay outdoors for longer.

Why Choose a Fleece Jacket With Hood for Women?

A fleece jacket with a hood, or any of our women’s fleece jackets, is an ideal staple for any wardrobe. They provide versatility, warmth, comfort and style to tackle any weather.

Like many of our women’s coats or women’s jackets, some of our fleece jackets feature Columbia’s innovative and exclusive technologies to keep you dry.

If you’re looking for more waterproof protection, our fleeces with hoods can be easily layered underneath one of our women’s waterproof jackets.

Not only do our soft, textured fleeces with hoods include some water-resistant properties, but they’re also ideal for keeping you warm. Fleece, a synthetic polyester material, is designed to create an insulating layer that traps air, keeping body heat from escaping. They’re great worn on their own for chilly days, but can also be easily worn under one of our women’s jackets for additional insulation during colder temperatures.

Top Features To Look For in a Women's Fleece Jacket With Hood

When looking for the perfect hooded fleece, don’t pick the first option you see – even if there is a sale price. Make sure you think about the following features to help narrow your choices:

• Breathability
• Wind resistance
• Water resistance

Something else to consider is the quality of the fastenings, like the zippers and buttons, as well as the hood itself. Fortunately, Columbia prides itself on delivering top-quality products, and our hooded fleeces are no different. You can rest assured that no matter which fleece with a hood you choose, you’re getting the ultimate in quality, comfort and protection.

 Styling Your Fleece Jacket With Hood for Women

Since our fleece jackets with hoods come in a wide range of colours and designs, styling them couldn’t be easier. Our plush fleeces are ideal for cosy, casual looks, as well as providing style for outdoor adventures.

If you’re looking for a more casual look, try pairing your hooded fleece with leisure shirts, hoodies, sweatshirts or knitted jumpers. If you get warm, you can always wrap the fleece’s arms around your waist and tie them.

On the other hand, to complete your outdoor style and to add some extra warmth, why not try wearing one of our puffer vests from our selection of women’s gilets over your hooded fleece? Our fleeces can also be worn under an overcoat or one of our women’s softshell jackets for particularly frigid temperatures. If the sun comes out and you start to get warm, our lightweight hooded fleeces are easy to throw in a bag until needed.

Care and Maintenance Tips for Fleece Jackets With Hoods

The best way to get the most out of your fleece apparel is to care for and maintain it. Here are some general suggestions:

• Always read the care instructions for your specific items.
• To preserve your fleece’s colour, use a mild detergent and wash it on a cold, gentle cycle.
• To prevent pilling, avoid washing fleece with items that have fastenings, like zips or Velcro.
• Air dry your fleece by hanging it or laying it flat.
• When not in use, store your fleece in cool, dry places. Make sure it’s not in direct sunlight to prevent fading.

Use a fabric shaver or pumice stone to remove any pilling.
