How to Choose the Right Ski Fleeces
Ski fleeces play an essential role in your layering system by providing breathable insulation between your base layer and outer shell. A functional ski fleece helps manage temperature regulation, traps body heat efficiently, and offers comfort during winter activities without adding unnecessary weight. As part of your entire ski outfit, a fleece supports warmth on the lift while remaining breathable enough for intense activity on the slopes. With a variety of colours, fits, and styles available, it is easy to find a comfortable mid layer that feels perfect for cold mountain conditions.
Choosing the right fleece ensures you stay warm, dry, and ready to enjoy full days outdoors. Fleece jackets can be worn for a variety of activities and will keep you warm on the coldest of days. Trespass has fleece jackets for men, women and children too, so the whole family can get toasty! We use anti-pil material, so your fleece will stay bobble free and withstand multiple washes. Wear underneath one of our superb ski jackets for the ultimate in cold busting layering.
Technical ski fleeces come in several styles, each offering different levels of warmth, movement, and breathability. Understanding these types helps you select a piece that suits your skiing style and preferred layer combination.
- Microfleece: Lightweight and highly breathable for active skiing and milder weather, offering quick drying comfort.
- Midweight fleece: Ideal for most ski conditions, providing a dependable warmth to weight balance for days on the mountain.
- Heavyweight fleece: Offers extra warmth for cold resort conditions or low output activity when insulation matters most.
- Stretch or grid fleece: Crafted for movement with flexible fabrics and moisture control, ideal for touring or fast paced skiing.
With these options, you can choose the layer that delivers warmth and comfort across your chosen terrain.
Materials and How They Work
Most ski fleeces are crafted from performance fabrics designed to keep you warm, dry, and comfortable across the mountain. These materials support insulation, breathability, and flexibility while remaining lightweight.

- Elastane blends: Allow flexible movement and support a comfortable shape that works well under jackets.
- Grid knit structures: Improve airflow and moisture control for performance focused designs.

Do I need a fleece for skiing?
- A fleece helps add extra warmth and comfort as part of your mid layer system. It supports temperature regulation during skiing and helps prevent chills in cold weather. Most skiers find a fleece essential for long days on the mountain.
-
Is a ski fleece the same as a regular fleece?
- A ski fleece is designed for performance and breathability, offering features suited to winter sport. Regular fleeces may provide warmth but may not manage moisture or movement as effectively. A technical ski fleece supports comfort across the slopes.

Where does a fleece fit in the ski layering system?
- A fleece sits between your base layer and outer jacket as the main mid layer. It helps trap warmth and manage moisture while allowing freedom of movement. This position ensures balanced insulation during changing activity levels.
-
Can I wear a fleece as an outer layer while skiing?
- A fleece can be worn as an outer layer in dry, mild weather or during casual walks around the resort. For wet, snowy, or windy conditions, a waterproof jacket is recommended. Layering appropriately helps maintain warmth and protection.
