Trespass Fleece Jackets For Hiking
No outdoor wardrobe is complete without a fleece, and our walking fleeces are as flexible as they are stylish. Whether you're in need of a versatile outer layer for the summer or a cosy mid-layer to fit under your winter jacket, a lightweight fleece jacket from Trespass may be just what you need to go further. You'll be spoilt for choice with a wide range of men's, women's and kids fleeces , meaning the whole family can layer up and enjoy the outdoors.
Choose A Fleece Jacket For Year-Round Comfort
A walking fleece jacket is perfect for hiking in unpredictable weather, as it provides an extra layer of protection without overheating the wearer. This makes it an ideal choice for outdoor activities in the UK, where the phrase "four seasons in one day" is all too familiar! Our hiking fleeces are not only flexible but also highly breathable, so you can easily pack into small bags to minimise your load on your next adventure.
Whether you wear it under your gilet in spring or your waterproof jacket in winter, make your fleece your next go-to layer for all your outdoor pursuits. Plus, with our wide range of fleeces for men and women, there's a style to suit everyone's tastes so you're sure to find something you'll love.
Walking fleeces are best understood by weight and construction, as these factors determine how much warmth and breathability they provide.
- Lightweight fleeces: Typically around 100–150 gsm, these are designed for active walking where breathability matters most. They work well as a mid layer under waterproof jackets.
- Midweight fleece jackets: Usually around 200–250 gsm, offering a balanced level of warmth and airflow. This is the most versatile option for general walking and everyday outdoor use.
- Heavyweight fleeces: Built with thicker fabrics, often 300 gsm or more, these provide extra insulation for slower-paced walks, camping, or colder winter conditions.
These options allow walking fleece jackets to adapt to different activity levels, temperatures, and layering needs.
Materials and How They Work
The materials used in walking fleeces directly affect warmth, durability, and comfort during wear.
- Polyester: Provides lightweight insulation, dries quickly, and maintains performance during repeated outdoor use.
- Elastane blends: Add stretch for improved mobility and a closer, more comfortable fit while walking.
- Cotton blends: Sometimes used in more casual fleece styles, offering softness but slower drying times compared to technical options.
Together, these materials help walking fleece jackets stay warm, breathable, and suitable for regular outdoor use.
Practical design details improve how walking fleeces perform during everyday use.
- Zipped pockets provide secure storage for essentials.
- High collars help protect the neck from wind and cold.
- Stretch cuffs and hems help retain warmth.
- Thumb loops support layering under jackets.
These features help walking fleece jackets feel practical, comfortable, and easy to layer.
Weather conditions and activity levels change throughout the year, so choosing the right walking fleece depends on when and how you plan to wear it.
- Spring and autumn walking: Lightweight or grid fleeces offer breathable warmth for changing temperatures.
- Winter walking: Midweight or heavyweight walking fleece jackets provide insulation when worn alone or layered under waterproof jackets.
- Everyday outdoor wear: Midweight fleeces balance comfort and versatility for regular use.
- Camping and low-activity days: Heavier fleeces help retain warmth when movement is limited.
Matching your fleece to season and activity ensures comfort throughout your walk.

Are fleece jackets windproof?
- Most walking fleece jackets are not fully windproof on their own, as fleece prioritises breathability. They work best when layered under a windproof or waterproof outer jacket in exposed conditions.
-
What makes a good walking fleece?
- A good walking fleece balances warmth, breathability, and fit. Lightweight materials, stretch construction, and easy layering make walking fleeces comfortable for longer periods outdoors.
-
Do fleeces lose warmth when wet?
- Fleeces retain some insulating ability when damp and dry much faster than natural fibres. While they are not waterproof, they remain comfortable when paired with a protective outer layer.
