Veste polaire de ski femme

Choosing the right women's fleece for skiing and snowboarding

An essential thermal textile technology for women

The women's fleece is much more than just a cozy garment. It represents a textile technology specially designed to provide effective thermal insulation adapted to the female body shape. Made from polyester synthetic fibers, it efficiently traps air to retain body heat while remaining lightweight and comfortable.

An essential mid-layer for your mountain outings

Whether you practice skiing or snowboarding, the women's fleece plays an indispensable role as a mid-layer. Placed between the base technical layer and the waterproof jacket, it helps maintain a stable body temperature without limiting freedom of movement, essential for dynamic female sports practice.

The benefits of a women's fleece jacket

• Excellent thermal capacity even in very cold conditions
• Breathable fabric that wicks away moisture during effort
• Flexibility and lightness for optimal comfort and a flattering feminine silhouette
• Easy care (quick drying, no ironing needed)
• Eco-friendly option with recycled polyester models

The different types of fleeces adapted for women

Lightweight microfleece

With a weight of around 100g/m², it is perfectly suited for intense activities like Nordic walking, ski touring, or spring hikes. This thin jacket ensures good moisture management while offering light protection against the wind.

Midweight fleece

Perfect for a good balance between warmth and versatility. At 200g/m², it is ideal for activities such as climbing or via ferrata. It retains heat even near zero degrees while remaining very breathable.

Heavyweight fleece

With a weight exceeding 300g/m², it provides maximum insulation. Ideal for static activities or high-altitude bivouacs. Less suitable for prolonged effort, it ensures optimal thermal comfort in extreme cold.

Models adapted to the specific needs of sporty women

Stretch and hybrid fleeces

For intense sports like trail running or mountaineering, women's stretch fleece with elastane provides effective thermal retention while offering optimal freedom of movement, perfectly adapted to the female morphology. Hybrid models with synthetic outer layers effectively protect against cold wind while remaining breathable.

Softshell: a versatile alternative for her

Less breathable than a classic fleece but more wind-resistant, the softshell is ideal for day hikes or ski outings in changing weather. It combines insulation and protection against light bad weather, avoiding the bulk of multiple layers.
