Fleece clothing and blankets are popular in Dutch households, when travelling and during outdoor activities. However, a soft-looking product photo reveals little about warmth, fit or care requirements. For example, a lightweight fleece blanket may be comfortable on the sofa but provide insufficient coverage as a winter blanket. A women’s fleece jacket may feel comfortable, but without a suitable outer layer it will not be suitable for rain.
Use these checks to avoid a disappointing purchase and compare products based on how you plan to use them, their materials and their dimensions.
A fluffy outer surface feels soft, but warmth also depends on thickness, weave structure and fit. Lightweight fleece is useful for travelling or as a mid-layer. For cold evenings at home, a thicker fleece blanket or a lined jacket is usually the more sensible choice.
Pay attention to a blanket’s dimensions. A throw for the sofa measuring approximately 130 x 150 cm is suitable for one person or as a decorative layer. A size of 150 x 200 cm provides more coverage and room to move.
A waterproof fleece jacket often combines fleece or a lining with a separate outer layer. Check whether the product specifies a hydrostatic head rating, breathability and taped seams. The term water-repellent alone does not give a complete picture of performance in prolonged rain.
According to PELLIOT’s own product information, certain 3-in-1 outdoor jackets have a hydrostatic head rating of 35.900 mm H₂O and breathability of 16.000 g/m²/24 hours, measured according to JIS. Treat these figures as the brand’s product specifications; your actual experience will also depend on fit, use and care.
A men’s fleece hoodie or fleece sweatshirt is often worn over a T-shirt, while an outdoor jacket needs to leave room for a jumper or fleece inner jacket. So do not look only at S, M or L; also check the chest measurement, shoulder width and sleeve length.
With regular-fit clothing, you can usually use your normal size as a starting point. For a 3-in-1 outdoor jacket, it is worth checking the size chart for both the separate outer and inner jackets.
Fleece products are often made from polyester, cotton or a combination of the two. Polyester fleece is lightweight and generally dries conveniently after washing. Cotton feels natural, but it can retain moisture for longer.
Some examples from the range:
A recycled fibre or certification can provide useful information, but always check exactly what has been certified. For example, the product information for the Cozy Blanket mentions Oeko-Tex Standard 100.
For everyday wear, a fleece sweatshirt and a men’s fleece hoodie with ribbed trims are practical choices. Ribbed trims help maintain the fit around the wrists and hips. A kangaroo pocket provides space for small essentials and can help keep your hands warm.
For sports or walking, an adjustable hood, cuffs and hem are useful. If a jacket can be worn as a shell, lining or combined 3-in-1 outdoor jacket, pay particular attention to its weight and freedom of movement in every configuration.
Choose the size according to how you intend to use it:
A larger blanket takes up more room in the washing machine. Also check the care label and recommended drying method.
Why it suits this profile: Its compact size is suitable for use on an armchair, sofa, bed or while travelling. The grey colour is easy to coordinate with a range of interiors.
The dimensions are clearly stated, so you can assess in advance how much coverage it will provide.
127 x 152 cm, lightweight design and suitable for the sofa, bed, home use and travelling.
Why it suits this profile: Its generous size is ideal for anyone looking for a warm winter blanket for the sofa, bed or shared use.
The larger size prevents you from focusing solely on softness and then finding that the blanket does not provide enough coverage.
Flannel fleece, grey colour and 150 x 200 cm for generous use in the living room.
Why it suits this profile: The combination of outer jacket and lining is suitable for commuting, camping and walking in changeable weather.
The product information specifies a 3-in-1 system, size chart, hydrostatic head rating and care instructions rather than making only a general claim.
According to PELLIOT’s own product information: 35.900 mm H₂O hydrostatic head, breathability of 16.000 g/m²/24 hours and layers that can be worn separately.
Follow the care label, as cotton blends and synthetic fleece may require different care. Many garments in this selection recommend washing at a low temperature, with similar colours and without bleach.
Pay attention to these points:
First decide where you will use the product. For the sofa, a lightweight throw is often enough. For a bed or a cold living room, 150 x 200 cm is more practical. For sport, a fleece sweatshirt or fleece shorts with an elasticated waistband is suitable for layering and movement. For rain and wind, you will need a protective outer layer in addition to fleece.
We have put together a complete, up-to-date list of products that fully meet these strict selection criteria and the applicable European safety regulations.
That depends on the thickness, dimensions and your personal preference. A fleece blanket is lightweight and easy to care for. For extra warmth, you can choose a larger size or a multi-layer blanket. Also check that the blanket is large enough for your bed or sofa.
Standard fleece is not automatically waterproof. A waterproof fleece jacket usually consists of fleece or a warm lining combined with a separate protective outer layer. So check the stated hydrostatic head rating, seams and care instructions. For technical specifications, it is sensible to check whether the manufacturer states a testing method or standard.
Its lifespan depends on the material, how it is used and your washing routine. Following the care label, avoiding excessively hot drying and steering clear of unsuitable detergents can help preserve the fabric’s texture for longer. For clothing, seams, cuffs and zips need particular attention; for blankets, focus especially on the edges and stitched seams.
