Lightweight vs Heavyweight Polar Fleece: Which One to Choose?

One of the favorite fabrics that keep an individual warm and cozy is polar fleece. But in selecting polar fleece, there are two main types: lightweight and heavyweight. Each has its pros and cons, uses and abuses. Deciding between them can be difficult if you’re not sure what one you need. Both types of polar fleece are what we make at Rarafusion, and we have learnt a great deal about benefits of each under varying conditions. 

What’s Best for Wholesale Buyers? 

Wholesale customers tend to shop for fabrics based on budget, quality and use. At Rarfusion, we’ve seen lightweight polar fleece in demand for spring jackets or as layering pieces. It’s thin, it’s soft and it is easier to wrangle in vast quantities. That means shipping and storage can be easier and cheaper. For instance, if a store wants to offer polar fleece fabrics vests or lightweight hoodies, the material light sweatshirts are made from can make sense because it’s cozy without being too warm. 

What are the differences between light and heavy polar fleece fabrics? 

Lightweight and heavyweight polar fleece seem the same, but they feel quite different. Lightweight fleece generally ranges from 100 to 200 grams per square meter. It’s light, it’s soft and it folds up with little struggle. This type of fleece is ideal when you need warmth but not the bulk. Think of wearing a light jacket on a cool spring day, and that’s what lightweight fleece feels like. It allows better air circulation, so you don’t sweat. But it’s thinner, so it does not retain quite as much heat as heavyweight fleece. Heavyweight patterned polar fleece is also far thicker with weights regularly surpassing 300 grams per square meter. It’s simultaneously dense and plush, almost like a warm blanket you want to drape around yourself. 

Where to Buy the Best Wholesale deals for Lightweight Polar Fleece and Heavy Weight Polar fleece?

How Does the Weight of Polar Fleece Impact the Quality of Your Product and Buyer Satisfaction? 

The weight of polar fleece is crucial, as it affects the way the fabric feels and functions. Polar fleece lightweight is thinner and softer. It is a nice fabric if you like something that doesn’t feel too structured and don’t do well with rich, thick napped fabrics. Heavyweight Polar Fleece or polar fleece heavyweight is thick and warm. It is nice and warm if you are outside in the cold. We at Rarfusion understand that fleece  weight influences both quality and buyer satisfaction. High quality fleece, whether thin or thick, is supposed to feel smooth rather than rough and should last a good long while without wearing out.
