Men’s travel fleece sweatshirts

Travel Clothing covers a fairly wide range of equipment, here and classic tourism, outdoor recreation and some sports. Outerwear for men is represented in a huge variety, and in this article we will talk about fleece jacket for men’s tourism.

Usually, there are three main requirements for such jackets:

• The jacket should keep you warm,
• Keep your body from sweating,
• to drain away moisture in time,
• as well as to some extent to protect against adverse weather.

Men’s fleece sweatshirts – how to choose?

For different activities in the format
outdoor,
what

literally means –
“behind the doors.”
, that is – outdoors or in nature, you will need fleece sweatshirts of different density and warmth .

To do this, we have to deal with a few basic characteristics of fleece fabric:

Pile length

• Fleece jacket (men’s and women’s) work in such a way as to retain heat due to the thick pile. That is, the longer and denser the fleece pile – the warmer the product! A loose knit will provide good air permeability and water drainage.

Thermal insulation index

• Usually, manufacturers place in the description of men’s fleece sweaters a numerical index, which indicates the density of the nap per square meter. It varies from 100 to 300 or more g/sq. м. However, when specifying the density of the fleece, such as Classic 100, manufacturers may mean density range from 100 to 200 gr./sq. м.

Vapor permeability

• As you understand, the denser the pile, the less breathable the jacket. This is important for fleece products due to the fact that moisture and sweat from the body is not absorbed as easily as, for example, thermal jackets. Therefore, with heavy loads dense men’s fleece jackets are not suitable.

Weight

• Agree, when there is not much room in the backpack and you have to literally carry every gram on itself, the weight of the jacket – an important characteristic. Note that not all manufacturers indicate the density of fleece fabric, so here it is sometimes important to check the weight of the product experimentally. That is simply weighing them in your hands, or checking with the online store. With a similar cut and size, the sweater that is heavier will be warmer.
  

  Material

• Men’s travel sweatshirts made of fleece can be made from fabrics with different technologies, which will depend on their functional properties. Methods of developing fleece today are constantly being improved, new properties are achieved and updated variations are brought to market. For example, fleece may have different degrees of softness, different thickness and texture, to be one-sided or two-sided, have high thermal insulation properties.
• The founders of fleece production are Polartec and the truly ubiquitous Gore, both of which hail from the United States. They are still leaders in the production of high-tech fleece and actively supply their developments to leading travel brands.

Now let’s understand what kind of jacket to choose, given the degree of anticipated strain:

1. Light aerobic activity in nature. To do this, choose a men’s jacket light density or medium, if the weather outside is windy.
2. For moderate activity and tourism in the spring or fall season it is best to use a jacket with a thermal insulation coefficient of 200 gr/sq. м.
3. Warm fleece jacket for tourism is recommended when you have to hike or expedition in very cold weather, with high activity is not expected.
4. Men’s fleece jacket combined structure. The design of this outfit is good because in addition to the fleece pile contains a mesh breathable material. Being a good insulator, such a men’s jacket lets the air pass through and wicks moisture away from the body. That is, in it you are ready for medium loads, in which even if you sweat, the moisture will be dissipated into the outer layer of clothes.

Men’s fleece sweatshirts – cut

A distinctive feature of quality fleece is not only a good material, but well thought-out fit. The stiffness of movement in no way contributes to a comfortable tourist movement. Good manufacturers always pay attention to the comfortable cut of men’s sweaters. In general, they can be divided into two groups:

Anatomic. Such hiking jackets do not restrict movement, but the tightest fit to the body. They are best for mountaineering, cross-country skiing and so on. Such as this sweatshirt by Norwegian

Odlo brand.

.

Loose cut. Usually, such men’s jackets repeat the cut of sweaters, but, in models for tourism, they have additional features, such as stretching on the hips, a special cut of the sleeve for freedom of movement, an elevated collar. Such as this British microfleece sweatshirt
Karrimor brand.

Fleece is well suited for self-wearing, as well as under a windbreaker or storm jacket when hiking in the rain or strong wind as a middle layer of insulation.
