Women's fleece jackets and pullovers

Women’s fleece jackets for the perfect warmth

Versatile warmth for any outdoor adventure, women’s fleece jackets are perfect for crisp fall hikes or chilly winter walks. Fleece is known for its lightweight, breathable insulation, allowing heat retention without the bulk of traditional outerwear. At MEC, you can find fleece layers in a variety of styles and thicknesses, from microfleece ideal for layering under a shell, to heavier fleece jackets perfect for stand-alone wear in mild weather. Made by epic brands like MEC Label, Patagonia, The North Face and more, there’s plenty to choose from for your winter warmth.

Why you need a fleece jacket

Designed with active lifestyles in mind, MEC’s fleece jackets for women include practical features like zippered pockets, thumb loops and full-length zippers to manage ventilation during physical activities. They come in different cuts, including women’s-specific fits, ensuring comfort and ease of movement. The range also includes options with technical fabrics such as Polartec® and recycled polyester, which deliver a high warmth-to-weight ratio and durability while being eco-friendly.

Perfect your layering system

Women’s fleece jackets are also popular for their versatility in a layering system. During colder months, they can be worn over a base layer and under a waterproof or windproof shell for added insulation and weather protection. For shoulder seasons, fleece jackets are a comfy outer layer, offering the right balance of warmth and breathability for various outdoor and casual settings. On our website, you can learn all about how to choose mid-layers and the ways fleece is a star in this department.
