soft coat

Fuzzy outer layer

A soft coat is the fur or hair of an animal that has a fine, silky, or downy texture rather than coarse or wiry strands.

Dog breeds are often distinguished by coat type: Soft-coated Wheaten Terriers have a soft coat that requires regular grooming.

The term appears in breed standards and grooming contexts.
