Right i'm after a new fleece for Glasto and I know there are several other festival goers, out door types and general fleecy types so anyone give me any tips?

 

If you want the best then you should buy Arc'teryx or Patagonia. Otherwise most of the major brands use generally the same supplier of fleece (malden mills) so you'll only be buying for design/details/fit etc. The cheaper brands will generally be using a shitter quality fleece that after a few washes will pile and zips that wont last as long.

But going to Glastonbury could envolve blim burns etc so you might wanna get a cheapish one anyhow?

 

Hope this helps.

Are fleeces not a little bit gay? And does the fact the first person to reply was someone called "Jeremy" not confirm this?

Cheers, you with the name which is slang for a condom.......

If you think his first name is gay, that would mean that in combination with his surname, he would be a gay pornstar.

At the risk of bringing the thread back to the point, I have found that a fleece ends up sodden and matted when at festivals etc & would suggest a rainproof- type jacket like a Helly Hansen / Regatta / Trespass. Still as warm & a lot lighter.

 

Depending on whether you worry about where you shop, you can pay a fair bit for them or try the likes of TJ Hughes.

I've had quite a few of these. Good as a mid layer for wet/cold weather, or top layer for drizzle/warmer months.

 

I go walking regularly on the South Downs and they have been brillant. Although Blacks do seem to stock the worst range of colours in them, either that of the new colours are a bit shit.
