microfleece

Lightweight fuzzy fabric

Microfleece is a lightweight synthetic fleece fabric with a finer, thinner pile than standard fleece.

It provides warmth without bulk, making it popular for base layers, blankets, and athletic wear: a microfleece pullover, microfleece-lined leggings.

The fabric is soft, breathable, and quick-drying.
