Technology
RealFleece is Icebreaker's natural, luxurious, brushed merino alternative to a synthetic fleece and offers instant warmth and luxury. The insulation-to-weight value is very high - super lightweight considering the insulation provided. RealFleece also has a very soft, luxurious fell thanks to its smooth, air-permeable jersey finish. The interior is a terry knit construction with the loft being brushed to create air pockets that trap air and retain body heat. Perfect during low aerobic activities like tramping and before and after high aerobic sports. So stylish RealFleece works as well in the city as it does in the outdoors.
RealFleece260 is a mid layer that's versatile and functional and can be worn over any Icebreaker base layer. Realfleece260 has decorative stitching and a subtle print on the inside of the hood or inner collar.

Questions on Icebreaker Men's RealFleece260 Sierra Hood Clearance

From Paul Magill on 11/09/12
- Looking for a warm sweatshirt, to use in the mountains, put on at the end of the day while around the camp site to keep warm.
And also double up as an extra layer under my jacket, if conditions get icy.
Is something like this merino wool going to be best, or a polyester fleece around 210gm to 310gms.
How much does this weigh ? - Hi Paul, Thank you for your enquiry.
The Realfleece 260 would be equivalent to a 200 weight polyester fleece, but will stay warmer when it is wet. Realfleece is 100% merino wool and has a brushed lining which gives it a very fleecy feel. It would make a great camp sweater and would be ideal as an additional layer in cold conditions. The Sierra Hood weights about 600grams in total. Thanks
