How to Choose a Men’s Fleece Jacket
Lightweight fleece: better for active use and layering under a shell.
Midweight fleece: a versatile option for cool weather and everyday outdoor use.
Heavier fleece: better suited to colder conditions and lower-intensity activities.
Layering: wear fleece over a base layer and under a windproof or waterproof outer shell when conditions require it.
