Why Choose a Women’s Warm Fleece Jacket?

Aside from being fashionable, our women’s fleeces are durable and practical. They are great for keeping warm both inside and outdoors.

Made of soft, synthetic material, fleece effectively traps body heat to create an insulating layer, keeping the cold out. This ensures minimal heat loss, keeping you comfortably warm and cosy.

As well as providing excellent warmth, fleeces are also surprisingly breathable and lightweight. This makes fleece a superb fabric for urban life, as well as walking and hiking adventures.

For added comfort, many of our warm fleeces also feature our performance-enhancing Omni-WickTM technology. Omni-WickTM effectively keeps you dry by drawing moisture away from the skin and spreading it across the fabric’s surface for quick evaporation.

Depending on what you’re looking for, our fleeces for women come in a range of practical designs. Among others, we have models with hoods, as well as zip-up and pullover options, all available in a wide selection of colours.

While out adventuring in the great outdoors, you can rest assured that your valuable items will be safe because women’s fleeces also feature spacious pockets with secure fastenings, like zips and snaps.

How to Wear your Women’s Warm Fleece Jackets

The versatile nature of fleece jackets makes them incredibly easy to style. You can wear them on their own, as a top layer or under something else.

Given their lightweight and breathable qualities, fleece jackets can be worn on their own. However, this does prevent you from removing it if you do get a bit warm. We recommend wearing a fleece as an outer layer over one of our women’s t-shirts or women’s tank tops.

If you anticipate rain, our warm fleece jackets are ideal to wear underneath one of our women’s waterproof jackets. This ensures you can stay warm and dry during the UK’s predictable wet weather.

Columbia’s fleeces are also perfect for adding extra warmth. On those cold days when the temperatures plummet, pair a warm fleece with one of our women’s coats or one of our women’s gilets.

Tips to Care for Your Women’s Warm Fleece Jacket

To ensure your fleece jacket remains cosy and durable for years to come, proper care is essential. First and foremost, read and follow the care instructions that come with your jacket. However, here are some general care guidelines for fleeces:

• Wash with a mild detergent using a delicate cycle (or by hand). Wash with like colours and fabrics.
• Do not use bleach or fabric softener.
• To reduce the risk of your fleece shrinking, hang it to dry in a well-ventilated area.
• Do not iron.

FAQs

Is a fleece jacket warm enough for winter?

Whether a fleece jacket is warm enough for winter depends on the climate. In the UK, there are some cool, dry days in winter when a fleece jacket would be suitable for keeping you warm and comfortable. However, there are some frigid days when you would need additional layers.

Which is warmer, insulated or fleece?

Typically, an insulated jacket, like one of our women’s puffer jackets, will be warmer than a fleece jacket.

Insulated jackets are primarily suited for one season, whereas fleece jackets are more versatile due to their lightweight and breathable qualities, which allow them to be easily layered. However, you can have the best of both worlds! Our fleeces pair well with insulated jackets for additional warmth, as well as flexibility to remove layers.
