Sherpa, technical, casual and gilets

If you’re obsessed with the wonderful softness of sherpa fleeces, you can explore our women’s sherpa fleece category. Sherpa fleece is plush, cosy and comforting. Our sherpa clothes will give you the sensation of wearing a toasty blanket—without sacrificing your mobility.

Choose a cosy sherpa fleece hoodie to keep your neck, face and head warm and toasty on chilly days. To face your coldest winter adventures, you can throw on a versatile and long sherpa fleece coat.

A technical fleece for women is a great option when you have to avoid the cold as you participate in sports activities. Technical fleeces are breathable, lightweight and are equipped with advanced wicking technology. In the collection, you’ll find fleece jackets with features such as thumb holes and chin guards. Many are also designed with practical pockets such as arm sleeve pockets and zippered chest pockets.

Our technical fleeces are versatile and can be worn in most seasons. If you’re heading on a winter hike or a ski adventure, a technical fleece jacket can be a perfect layer under a women’s hiking jacket or one of our women’s ski jackets. It will keep you warm and dry on your outdoor quests, so you can stay active for as long as you’d like.

You can also wear a technical fleece as a top layer when the weather is milder. It’s a convenient layer to throw on when you’re going for a quick run on a chilly spring evening. The comfortable stretch means that you can keep going for longer.

Another category in our fleece collection is our casual fleeces, where you’ll find our popular half zip fleece women’s jackets. Casual fleeces have a more relaxed design and are a comfortable option for urban activities. During the colder season, they work well as a layer under an urban women’s coat. You’ll find quarter zip, half zip, and full zip options among our casual fleeces.

Finally, we have our fleece gilet women’s category. In this category, you’ll find sherpa fleece vests that keep your core warm while simultaneously showing off the cute pattern on your long sleeve shirt. You’ll also find practical technical fleece gilets with advanced insulation that maintain a perfect temperature during your hike.

Wicking and repellency technologies in our fleeces

Columbia women's fleeces feature various technologies to keep you warm and dry—inside and out.

• Omni‑Wick™ is our enhanced wicking technology that allows for quick moisture evaporation. Fleeces with Omni‑Wick™ make sure you stay dry during active sports. The wicking tech keeps moisture away from your skin and distributes it through the surface of your clothing.
• Omni‑Shield™ is our advanced repellency technology that provides your clothes with a water repellent treatment. This makes your fleece jacket water and stain repellent. Omni‑Shield™ fleeces keep you dry in light showers so you head out without fear of the weather changing.

Find your new better-than-perfect fleece

Columbia is not the only outdoor clothing brand that sells fleece products for women. But when you choose a fleece from Columbia, you’re getting a jacket that has gone through thorough testing. The fleece you get is not only soft and warm, but also breathable and lightweight. Columbia Sportswear's founder, “Tough Mother” Gert Boyle, had the motto: “It’s perfect. Now make it better.” And we hear that voice everytime we design a new piece of outerwear.

To find the perfect women’s fleece for you, don’t buy just any jacket you see after a quick look in the shops. First of all, you should find a fleece that is designed for the activity you’ll want to wear it for. Consider if you’re looking for a piece of clothing to wear for urban activities or for sports activities. Your future fleece should also fit your personal style. Use the online shop filters to browse through the many styles and colours available in our fleece collection. There are both more neutral and plain shades and playful patterns and colour combinations to choose from.

Choose wisely, and you’ll find a fleece that you can enjoy adventuring in for years!
