How to Choose Polar Fleece Fabric

What is polar fleece material?

Polar fleece is a knitted, napped fabric most often made from polyester or polyester blends, prized for trapping warm air while staying lightweight and breathable. See our blog for a deeper look at construction.

What GSM weight should I choose?

Lighter fleece around 300–380gsm suits hoodies and sweatshirts, while 550–750gsm fleece works best for heavy jackets and cold-weather outerwear. Mid-range weights around 420–490gsm are versatile for sportswear and streetwear.

Does polar fleece fabric shrink?

Polyester-heavy polar fleece has low shrinkage, while cotton-blend versions may shrink slightly more. Always check the specific composition before cutting patterns.
