What is "fleece"?

Fleece is a soft, warm, and lightweight fabric that is often made from synthetic fibers such as polyester. It is commonly used for outdoor clothing, jackets, and blankets. Fleece is known for its insulating properties, as it traps heat close to the body to keep the wearer warm. It is also quick-drying and breathable, making it a popular choice for athletic wear. Fleece is often made with a napped finish, which gives it a soft and fuzzy texture. It is a versatile fabric that comes in many different colors, patterns, and textures.
