Benefits of fleece sweatshirts
Fleece is a knitted fabric of synthetic origin, created for sewing warm clothes.
Fleece owes its extraordinary popularity to the following advantages:

- Air permeability. Especially important for sports. This sweatshirt perfectly retains warmth, while allowing the skin to breathe and moisture not to accumulate under the clothes. The sweatshirt retains its thermal insulation properties even when wet.
- Elasticity. Despite the fact that fleece sweatshirts have, as a rule, a straight, loose fit, this material keeps its shape perfectly, which makes it possible to use it for creating clothes with more complex cuts.
- Easy to care for. Fleece sweatshirt is easy to wash and dries quickly. It has a fairly high strength and durability.
- Hypoallergenic material. The fleece sweatshirt does not cause redness or irritation of the skin, it is very soft and pleasant to the touch.
