Frequently Asked Questions
What Features Should I Look for in a Good Fleece Jacket?
A good fleece jacket should provide warmth, breathability, and durability. TREQA™ jackets are designed with a DWR-coated outer fabric and a windproof inner layer—an innovation that sets us apart as the only apparel company crafting jackets this way. Features like zippered pockets, elastic cuffs, and reinforced seams improve performance. The Cho-oyu Fleece Jacket includes thumbholes, an adjustable hem, and compatibility with the Climate Compatible System (CCS) layering system for enhanced versatility.
Are Lightweight Fleece Jackets Breathable?
Yes. A lightweight fleece jacket like the Lobouche Fleece Jacket is designed for high-output activities, offering excellent moisture-wicking and ventilation. It provides warmth without overheating, perfect for layering in changing conditions.
Are Warm Fleece Jackets Suitable for Winter?
Warm fleece jackets work well as mid-layers in winter or as standalone outer layers in milder conditions. The Cho-oyu Fleece Jacket offers exterior zipping hand-warming pockets and a stand collar for additional protection. It can be zipped into a waterproof shell jacket for full weather protection, making it ideal for cold-weather adventures. For extreme cold temperatures, you should consider an insulated winter jacket.
Do Windproof Fleece Jackets Provide Protection Against the Cold?
A windproof fleece jacket offers extra protection by blocking the wind while maintaining breathability. The Lobouche Fleece Jacket includes an inner storm flap and elastic cuffs to minimize heat loss, making it more effective in chilly, breezy conditions.
What Temperature Range Is a Winter Fleece Jacket Suitable For?
A winter fleece jacket like the Cho-oyu Fleece Jacket is ideal for temperatures from 0°C to 10°C when worn alone. Layering with a waterproof shell, like the Yeti Shell Jacket, extends its usability in subzero temperatures.
How Do I Choose the Right Size for a Warm Fleece Jacket?
Measure your chest, waist, and sleeve length, then refer to TREQA™’s size chart. A warm fleece jacket should fit snugly over a base layer but allow room for layering under a shell. The Lobouche Fleece Jacket offers a tailored fit with elastic cuffs for comfort.
Do You Have Fleece Jackets for Women?
Yes! Our Women’s Fleece Jackets offer the same warmth and comfort in a fit designed for women.
