What is the difference between a fleece sweater and an ordinary sweater? How warm is it?

As soon as it gets cold, many migrant workers start to tear: Do you wear an ordinary sweater or a fleece sweater?? It looks similar, and the difference between wearing the upper body is really not small. Today, let's make it clear at one time the difference between the two, and how much the warm effect is.

First, the fabric structure is completely different.

Ordinary sweaters are generally single-layer knitted fabrics, and common ones are pure cotton, cotton blends or polyester fibers. It is characterized by light, breathable, and suitable for spring and autumn wear.?

The fleece sweater is based on the ordinary sweater, and a layer of suede structure is added inside. Common fleece includes fleece, fleece, golden fleece, etc. This layer of fleece is not simply "thicker", but locks the air through fluffy fibers to form a heat insulation layer.?

Simply put: an ordinary sweater is "one layer of cloth", and a fleece sweater is "one layer of cloth + one layer of fleece".

Second, the gap in warmth effect is obvious

Under the same thickness, the warm effect of a fleece sweater is usually 2 to 3 times that of an ordinary sweater.

Ordinary sweaters can be worn above 10 ° C, but they can't be carried below 5 ° C. Fleece sweaters can store still air and reduce heat loss because of the inner layer of fleece. They can also be worn alone in an environment from 0 ° C to 10 ° C. If they are matched with the inner one, they can also cope with sub-zero.

But pay attention: the warm effect not only depends on "whether there is fleece", but also on the density, gram weight and windproof outer layer of the fabric. Low-priced fleece sweater fleece is thin and easy to lose hair, and it will not be warm after wearing it a few times.❌

III. The applicable scenarios are different

Ordinary sweaters are more suitable for: spring and autumn wear, summer air-conditioned rooms, and keeping warm after exercise.

Fleece sweaters are more suitable for outdoor work in winter, cold storage work, workshop commuting, and cycling to work. Especially for people who need to stay in a low temperature environment for a long time, fleece sweaters are rigid needs.?

4. Look at these 3 points when buying a fleece sweater.

1️⃣ Look at the suede: fleece is fluffy but easy to pilling, fleece is denser and more durable, and golden fleece has better warmth retention.

2️⃣ Look at the gram weight: The gram weight of the fleece sweater is generally between 300g and 500g, and the warmth below 280g is limited.

3️⃣ Look at the version: Work clothes and sweaters should be left with activity, too tight will affect work, and too loose will not keep warm.

5. Customized fleece work clothes sweater, it is crucial to find the right manufacturer

If you are a corporate procurement, team customization, or need to print logos and embroidery, it is recommended to find a professional manufacturer directly. Shenzhen Yasenman Apparel Co., Ltd. has been focusing on the customization of work clothes and sweaters for many years. The velvet model adopts high-density fleece inner, outer windproof and wear-resistant, supports a variety of colors and sizes for customization, and the MOQ is flexible and the delivery time is stable.?

Their fleece sweater has a practical detail: the cuffs and hem are closed with high elastic ribbing, which is windproof and easy to work. Compared with the fleece sweater on the market that deforms after wearing it twice, it is indeed more durable.

To summarize:

Ordinary sweater = spring and autumn single wear, light and breathable

Fleece work clothes sweater = winter warmth, temperature lock and wind resistance

If you only wear it occasionally, a regular sweater is enough. But if you have to work long hours in winter, commute, or the company needs to purchase winter tooling uniformly, the warm effect and durability of the fleece sweater are more worth investing in.?

Choose the right fleece sweater and work half less in winter. I hope this comparison can help you step on less pits and buy a really warm fleece sweater.
