What else do I need to say. Fleece; be it technical micro fleece, or puffy, fluffy, tuffy, soft polar fleece, or just plain old, run of the mill, general fleece; whether it is made from scratch or recycled water bottles ... Fleece rocks! I would challenge anyone to convince me otherwise.
Still you are asking why fleece is so great? Well,
- It doesn't go all pilly,
- Even an inexpensive fleece can be super comfortable and cosy,
- You can wash it a million times and it doesn't lose its shape,
- It doesn't keep the stink if you happen to sweat in it ... a lot!,
- You can find it in all sorts of colours, weights and forms (you have got to try fleece socks),
- Even the messiest kid would have a hard time staining it,
- It dries pretty quickly if say you get tossed in a pool unexpectedly, and on that note,
- It is resistant to chlorine. So even if you do get thrown in a pool wearing your favourite fleece, it won't get wrecked.
And most important, did I mention how warm and comfy it is.
If you are wondering where this need to extol the virtues of a common material came from ... you guessed it, a long run this morning (early this morning) in minus 18 degree weather ... Yep, thank goodness for fleece. :)
Amen to that! I'm with you all the way on the fleece front.
