The Warmest Fleece

Chila88 · Oct 18, 2011

I know...yet another jacket thread! But I am really struggling to find really really warm fleece jackets for my DD's. Especially ones with hoods. I've read in other older threads that in other years people have found double layered fleece with a wind protection layer in between. Anyone know if these are around? Where they were/are from?

What is the warmest fleece you've come across this year?

My kids wear their Land's End fleece jackets most often. The have hoods and elastic around the cuffs. They make different ones with different temp ratings. I bought these last year when they had an awesome sale and they still look like new. I am not sure if I would want a double layer of fleece with a layer of windbreaker in between though. As it is, with just a single layer of fleece we struggle to adjust the jacket and get the harness buckled without loosening it from where it is without a jacket. I wouldn't want to add the bulk. Although, I am not a tech, so hopefully one will come along and add to this. Regardless of whether is is safe or not, I wouldn't want that much fabric to deal with when buckling.

I don't know if they're any warmer, but The North Face added a hood option to their kids' Denali jacket. I found one for ds half off at Sports Authority in the Sniagrab room.
