Best Answer

Polyester fleece is an extremely durable fabric that not only holds in warmth but resist moisture and dries quickly. The pile surface provides space for air pockets between the threads, and this goes for both sides of the fabric. Because it is moisture-resistant, it can keep wearers warm even under extreme weather condition.
