Polar fleece and fleece, which one is warmer? Polar fleece and fleece, which one is better?

In autumn and winter, most girls wear various fleece sweaters and velvet coats, which have a strong warming effect. Polar fleece and fleece are both popular fabrics. Which of these two fabrics is warmer?

Polar fleece is thicker than fleece. I personally think polar fleece is warmer.

1. Polar fleece is a kind of knitted fabric. It was first produced in Taiwan in the early 1990s. It has a small ingot knitting structure and is woven on a large circular knitting machine. After weaving, the grey cloth is first dyed, and then processed by a variety of complex finishing processes such as napping, combing, shearing, and polarizing. The front side of the fabric is napped, and the polarizing is fluffy and dense, but not easy to shed or pill. The back side is sparse and evenly napped, with less fluff, clear texture, and excellent fluffy elasticity. It is generally made of polyester and feels soft. It has been the preferred product for keeping warm in winter in China in the past two years. In addition, polar fleece can be compounded with all fabrics to make it more effective in keeping warm.

2. Due to the different ways of assembling the fleece and the different materials used, there are many types of fleece, and it is not easy to summarize them. In order to facilitate selection and use, they are classified according to their functions. The fleece used outdoors can roughly achieve the following functions: warmth, windproof, lightweight, quick-drying, wear-resistant, extensible, easy to compress, easy to care for, anti-static, splash-proof, etc. Most of the fleece used outdoors can achieve one or more of these functions. Therefore, if there are still many subdivisions, they are simplified into two categories according to the main functions: warmth; the other is windproof. In fact, fleece is often a combination of multiple functions, but it is just a rough classification for reference when choosing.

Polar fleece and fleece are both good, but polar fleece is better at keeping warm than fleece. Although fleece is also warm, it is more breathable, and polar fleece is made of cotton, so it has good warmth and wind resistance. So generally speaking, polar fleece is best worn in late autumn and early winter, while fleece is more suitable for early autumn to late autumn.

Polar fleece can be machine washed, so you don't have to worry about it being damaged by the washing machine. Although polar fleece looks "fragile", it is still quite "tough". Washing it in the washing machine is similar to washing ordinary clothes, and it is more labor-saving to use laundry detergent. You can also shake it directly after washing, without worrying about damaging or wrinkling the clothes or removing the hair.

1. Different processes

Most of the polyester fiber velvet fabrics currently seen on the market must first be brushed and then sheared.

Common fleece sweatshirts and the lining of many coats are processed in this way. Some also need ironing, such as fleece products used for thermal underwear.

Polar fleece is obtained by brushing and shearing, and then polarizing. Small grains of fleece are formed on the surface, so it is called polar fleece. It has a good feel and more elasticity. It generally does not pill when worn. It is a good product with good quality and low price, and is often used to make coats and blankets.

2. Different warmth retention

There are many kinds of fleece jackets, which can be roughly divided into windproof fleece and ordinary fleece.

Windproof fleece mainly relies on a windproof and breathable membrane between two layers of fabric to achieve this function, which is actually the same as waterproof and breathable fabrics. However, don't forget that windproof fleece cannot be glued, so it cannot achieve true functional waterproofness. In addition, the type of membrane compounded inside determines the price and performance of the garment, and the breathability of different materials will vary greatly.

There are many kinds of ordinary fleece, such as long fleece, short fleece, polar fleece, etc., and the performance is also different. Nowadays, polar fleece is often seen, which has better performance than ordinary fleece. During production, ordinary fleece is first made and then a machine is used to shake the fleece on the surface of the fleece to shorten the fleece and form small balls. This kind of polar fleece has more processes and costs in production, but it feels very comfortable (good polar fleece feels no worse than cashmere) and has increased warmth retention.
