polar fleece

Soft outdoor fabric

Polar fleece is a soft, lightweight synthetic fabric made from polyester, designed to provide warmth without bulk.

It wicks moisture, dries quickly, and retains heat even when wet—qualities that made it popular for outdoor and athletic wear.

Often shortened to fleece: a fleece jacket, a fleece blanket.
