Ready to bundle up a bit for those chilly early morning and evening walks? It’s time to shake out the sweatshirts, jackets and overcoats! My favorite? Fleece! Fleece will not only get you through this September cooler weather, but it will keep you warm right through the down right COLD weather! You can find a fleece jackets that are tailored, oversized, mid-thigh or waist length, waterproof, windproof, zip up or pull over, hooded or not, cinched waist, full figured, with or without pockets, and they come in every color under the sun! Be sure to look for fleece with Polypropylene: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polypropylene (scroll down to Practical Applications) as the inner layer. It’s breathable, water resistant and it wicks moisture away from the skin. This allows air to flow over the skin helping to prevent wetness.
Yes, fleece is thee perfect top layer for dressing in layers before you head out. As the weather changes you simply delayer or re-layer accordingly. You may as well pick up a matching fleece hat while you’re at it since we all know that 45% or so of body heat is lost via your noodle. Fleece gloves? Why not? Just like the jacket and hat, ideally they should be made of a water resistant and breathable material. Last but not least, investing in some polypropylene glove and sock liners to wick the moisture will only add to your comfort and insulation during the season.
So, bring on those chilly days and nights, and bring on the wind and rain!. Fleeced out from head to hand, you’re ready to take on whatever nature brings your way! Get your fleece, and get walking!
