Fleece blankets

Fleece

— synthetic material based on polyester. Fleece is made up of microscopic fibers and is essentially a type of microfibre (see related paragraph); often the two materials are not even separated from each other. Thanks to this structure, the fleece fabric is very soft and pleasant to the touch — it is at least as good as wool, while it does not itch and does not create discomfort. Fleece "breathes" (although worse than wool), absorbs moisture well, but dries quickly, so that under such a blanket a person will not sweat much even in warm weather. With all this, this material is light, can be compactly packed, and is relatively inexpensive.
