How to choose?
Choosing fleece clothing and hoping that it will last more than one season, you should not chase for cheapness. Quality, like the cost of a fleece depends on its density. The most optimal option for the Russian winter is 200 grams per square meter (look for an indication on the label. Options with lower density are called microfleece and are more suitable for temperate or home clothes. If the label indicates a density of about 300 grams per square, know that in such clothes you can go even in the cold winter.
Note that a dense high-quality fleece is absolutely not blown, but it quietly lets the air out from the body. Pay attention to how the fabric behaves under compression. If the fleece "creaks", then you have a poor quality product that will lose its properties after the very first acquaintance with the washing machine.
You also need to decide on the thickness of the product. There are several types of fleece - from very thin, suitable as home clothes or a suit for outerwear, to thick, which acts as an independent protection from the cold.
Most often, fleece jackets have a zipper, you need to look at it especially. If this is a thing for the street, the lock should be additionally glued, and even better - have a fleece bar to protect against the cold wind. Lining plays an important role for the street costume - now you can even find membrane variants that are suitable for the coldest time of the year.
It is good if the street costume is equipped with fixing cords on the bottom of the jacket, as well as tight cuffs on the sleeves and legs. The hood must also have a drawstring to cover the head from the draft.
Regarding clothes for home and sports, you should rather focus on your feelings. The suit should sit well, not fit, but not hang, you should like its color and in such clothes should be comfortable to move - not only walk or run, but sit, lie down and make active movements with your hands and feet.
