What makes Columbia fleeces and hoodies for boys so special?

First of all, our kids’ fleece items of different colours make a true staple in any boy’s wardrobe. These clothes are the basics for any weather apart from the summer heat. In spring and autumn, a hooded sweatshirt or a jumper over a basic T-shirt and paired with casual trousers can go a long way. That’s essentially a whole outfit for the day. Whether it’s a regular school day or a trip to the woods for a hiking weekend, with our great fleece, your boy is going to be warm, dry and protected. In winter, our fleeces are ideal for layering. Pair them with a puffer jacket and some boots and the kids are ready for school and a ski trip in the mountain, all in one.

Finally, the technologies behind our kids’ fleece sweaters are the real reason parents choose them over and over again. Let’s talk about those a bit more.

The technologies we use to enhance the benefits of boys’ hoodies and fleeces

At Columbia we want to provide boys with clothes that regulate their body temperature and sweating. We try really hard to come up with scientific answers to weather and bodily functions. That’s why our team of professionals has come up with different technologies to combat them.

Some of our boys’ fleece and hoody items are enhanced with wicking technologies. This means that the materials we make our clothes from effectively regulate moisture from both the inside and outside. In other words, our jumper or a zip hoodie will get rid of sweat but not the much-needed warmth. In the same way, in case of a rain shower or mud, the wicking technology will simply wick away excess moisture and dirt.

With the right features, you can forget all about layers upon layers. Our boys’ fleece collection, just like many of our adult winter clothes, have this technology which uses the body’s own warmth to keep boys warm but not sweaty.

How to pick boys’ fleece and hoodies?

On our website, you can find our filtering options. We’ve realised it’s the easiest way to get what you want out of our brands’ collection. You can choose size (they range from 4-5 years to 15-16 years), colours, price and benefits.

You should also think about the purpose for the gear you’re buying. If it’s layering for a winter trip, combining a base layer with a fleece west is a go-to option. For everyday errands like school or training, a dark grey hooded sweatshirt will be the ultimate comfort choice.

There are also numerous little additions like pocket hoodies, half zip or full zip, super soft cotton choices, sleeves with thumb holes, and of course, a variety of designs.

Keep your kids warm while catering to their individual styles.
