Fleece Jackets

Fleece jackets for skiing, snowboarding, and everyday wear

Fleece jackets are a dependable choice when you want extra warmth without feeling heavy or bulky—whether you’re on the mountain or heading out for everyday activities. Here you’ll find a solid selection of fleece jackets that work equally well as mid-layers for winter sports and as lightweight outer layers on cool days.

Fleece is quick-drying, breathable, and easy to move in, making it perfect for everything from skiing and snowboarding to hiking and commuting. Think about whether you’ll mainly wear your fleece under a shell jacket in freezing temperatures or as your only jacket during transitional seasons—this will help you decide on the right thickness and fit.

How to choose the right fleece jacket

When picking a fleece jacket, it mostly comes down to fit, warmth, and how you plan to use it. Use the tips below as a checklist before adding one to your cart. Here you’ll find a strong range of clothing options.

• Fit: Slim-fitting styles are great as mid-layers under a ski or snowboard jacket. A slightly looser fit works well if you also want to wear your fleece as an outer layer for everyday use.
• Size: Choose your regular size if you’ll mainly wear it on its own. If it’s going under a shell jacket, opting for a slightly thinner model or going half a size down can help reduce bulk and give you better flexibility.
• Warmth level: Lightweight fleece is ideal for high-intensity activity and milder conditions, while thicker fleece works well for cold days, mountain trips, and lower activity levels.
• Material and structure: Classic microfleece is lightweight and soft, while knitted or sherpa fleece typically feels warmer and more wind-resistant. Look for reinforced panels on high-wear areas for added durability.
• Activity type: For skiing and snowboarding, a full front zipper, high collar, and possibly a hood are practical. For everyday use, you might prioritize pockets, style, and whether it works as a transitional jacket.

Also look for details like thumb loops, an adjustable hem, and zippered pockets—especially if you’ll be using your fleece jacket actively and want to keep your phone and lift pass secure.
