What IS Fleece anyway?
I know to avoid cotton for cold weather biking. Fleece is often
mentioned as a good middle layer. But I've seen "fleece" that is 80% cotton and 20% polyester. And I've seen "fleece" that is 100% polyester. I'm assuming that the 80% cotton isn't a good idea whether it says "fleece" or not. I guess "fleece" just means "soft and mushy". |

Fleece is a method of creating a fabric by shearing one (or both) faces. You can also have natural wool fleece that is chopped off of a sheep. Cotton mats down when wet, so is worthless for most cold weather outdoor activities. Synthetic fleeces or wool are much better. For cycling, look for a stretch fabric that fits close to your skin for better insulation and moisture transfer. |
