• Fleece: A soft, napped fabric (often a cotton/polyester blend) offering warmth.
• Tech Fleece: A lighter weight, higher-performance synthetic fabric often used in athletic applications.
• Performance Blends: Incorporate materials like spandex for stretch, or merino wool for enhanced moisture management and odor control.
