Zip Fleece for Women(20)

A full-zip fleece can be opened and removed without pulling it over the head, which is useful when transitioning between high and low effort during an activity, or when arriving at a destination warm and needing to cool quickly. A half-zip fleece cannot be removed as quickly, but the shorter zip opens the collar for ventilation at the neck, where heat exits fastest, without opening the whole jacket. Half-zip styles also tend to sit closer at the collar when zipped, providing slightly more neck coverage in cold conditions.

A zip fleece worn as the second layer in a three-layer system sits between a base layer that manages moisture and an outer shell that blocks wind and rain. The fleece's role is insulation: it traps warm air close to the body without adding excessive bulk. Wool fleece performs this role across a wider temperature range than synthetic fleece, because wool's natural temperature regulation prevents the overheating that can occur when a synthetic fleece is worn in conditions warmer than it was designed for.

Zip fleece jackets are not limited to outdoor sport. The women's zip fleece range at DILLING includes styles suited to everyday wear in the city and at home. A wool-blend zip fleece worn over a T-shirt or merino base layer provides practical warmth during commutes, school runs, and colder indoor environments without the formality of a coat.
