Kids’ fleece jackets for cosy layers
A kids’ fleece jacket is the go-to layer for chilly mornings, school trips and playground breaks. It is soft, light and quick to dry, and it easily slips under a waterproof coat on colder days. Brushed fleece, borg and zip-through styles are all popular. This page lets you compare kids’ fleece jackets from UK retailers and follow a link to buy from the shop with the one you like, with sizes from toddlers up to older children.
Girls’ and boys’ fleece jackets
A girls’ fleece jacket is often finished with a fluffy borg lining, a hood or a bright print, while boys’ fleece jackets favour half-zips and colour-block panels. Baby fleece jackets and toddler styles are made with extra softness and easy fastenings. To see the matching adult shapes and plan family outfits, look at women’s fleece jackets, which show how the designs scale up for older sizes and different fits.
Fleece warmth and fabric weight
Fleece comes in different weights. A thin micro fleece is ideal as a mid layer under a coat, whereas a thicker fleece or borg lining works as a standalone jacket in cool, dry weather. Check for a zip that runs smoothly, a chin guard to prevent rubbing and elasticated cuffs that keep heat in. Zipped pockets help children keep hold of small items. Fleece is not wind or rain proof, so it works best with another layer in bad weather. Also compare men’s fleece jackets.
Washing and sizing kids’ fleece jackets
Fleece is easy to look after, which is helpful for parents. Wash it on a cool cycle with similar colours, avoid fabric softener and leave it to dry naturally. Size up slightly for layering, but not so much that the sleeves hang over the hands. A snug cuff keeps cold air out. Many fleece jackets for children also have name-label panels, which are practical at school. Read the retailer’s size chart, and check the customer reviews for fit before you buy.
