fleece jacket

Fuzzy warm layer

A fleece jacket is a lightweight jacket made from synthetic fleece—a soft, fuzzy fabric that insulates well and dries quickly.

Fleece jackets became popular outdoor wear in the 1980s and remain standard for hiking, camping, and casual cold-weather use: I grabbed my fleece jacket for the morning trail run.
