Lightweight Warmth You Can Rely On
A fleece is one of the most reliable ways to stay warm without adding unnecessary bulk. Modern fleece jackets for women use advanced fabrics that trap heat effectively while allowing moisture to escape, keeping you comfortable during changing conditions. Whether you prefer a womens half zip fleece for active layering or a womens hooded fleece jacket for extra coverage, each style provides flexible comfort that suits walking, hiking, and everyday use. The soft, brushed interiors feel great against the skin, while durable outer weaves stand up to regular wear. Each lightweight womens fleece jacket combines breathable warmth with practical styling for year round use, available in a variety of colours to suit your personal preference.
Designed for Layering and Breathability
Midlayers play a key role in any layering system. A womans fleece sweater works perfectly between your womens baselayer and outer shell, providing warmth without restricting movement. Many designs feature stretch panels or articulated seams for better mobility, making them ideal for active pursuits like backpacking or trail walking. You’ll find both womens quarter zip fleece and full zip options in our range, helping you control temperature and airflow as activity levels change. In winter, pairing your fleece with a waterproof or insulated jacket adds extra protection while maintaining breathability.
Everyday Comfort Meets Technical Design
Our womens fleeces and hoodies combine outdoor performance with casual comfort. They’re perfect for layering under waterproofs or wearing alone on cool, dry days. A womans fleece jacket made from recycled polyester offers reliable warmth while minimising environmental impact. For versatile performance, explore tried and tested designs from Mountain Equipment, engineered to handle real British weather. Every technical womens midlayer in this range is designed to perform across activities while maintaining comfort for everyday wear, keeping you cosy whether you’re walking the hills or resting by the fire.

We stock women's fleece jackets from brands committed to responsible sourcing and long lasting craftsmanship.
