A fleece is an essential bit of kit you need when out on the hills. It’s easy to throw on when it gets a little chilly! The fleece is lightweight, so my rucksack is not any heavier than it needs to be. It’s also easy to dry so if I get caught in the rain (which is very likely doing a DofE expedition in the UK). I know that my fleece will dry quickly, so I won’t have to worry about being cold for long. It acts as an excellent mid-layer since it’s easy to apply more layers on top as it’s not big or bulky. The fleece is incredibly soft, so comfortable to wear and makes a comfortable pillow at night!
I love the look of this fleece: both the colours blend well. What I also really liked was the elasticated cuffs making it look more attractive and sporty. It also meant that the end of my sleeves was less likely to get wet or dirty. Along with this, the elasticated sleeves helped to keep me warm by allowing less cold air in and keeping the warm air inside.
