One of the basic clothing items that freshmen cadets must have are fleece hoodies for uniformed classes. The fleece sweatshirt is a very popular item of clothing, providing good thermal properties, protecting us from unfavorable temperatures. Having such properties, a definite plus of fleeces is that they maintain a low weight at the same time. Fleece-type material was developed in 1979 by the American company Malden Mills. Their product was called Polartec, and the popular term fleece was adopted from this name. This fabric exhibits good heat insulation and hydrophobicity, that is, it does not absorb moisture. One of the main factors contributing to the popularity of fleece, in addition to its thermal properties, is the process of creating this material. Its production uses a polymer known as PET, which is associated with plastic bottles for good reason, as it is the same material, just in a completely different form. As a result, material obtained by recycling plastics can be successfully used to produce fleece.
The different models of fleece sweatshirts can be divided by such a parameter as the material density. As the density of the material increases, it will be warmer. Nowadays, fleece sweatshirts are a popular product due to their properties, which is why they could not escape the attention of schools and uniformed services. Fleece sweatshirts prepared specifically for such units may have several features that differentiate them, from their slightly more civilian counterparts. One of them, of course, will be pockets - in fleeces for uniformed classes their number will be considerably larger than in a standard sweatshirt. This allows for the efficient transport of small items that we may need in the field. They are also equipped with additional reinforcing elements in places that are particularly vulnerable to abrasion. There they have reinforcements made of a different material with greater strength. In practice, reinforcements are most often found on the forearms and shoulders. Fleece sweatshirts come in many color variants - both in solid colors and in camouflage versions.
Fleece for uniformed classes, as well as all kinds of uniformed services, can also be equipped with several velcro panels. Thanks to them, we can give them a bit more personal touch or simply allow us to identify our outfit. Thanks to such panels, we can enrich our fleece with a patch with our name, the name of our school or unit, or include information about our blood type. On the panels located on the shoulders, the national emblem, flag or school emblem are also often placed. Fleece sweatshirts used in slightly more difficult field conditions are also equipped with a high collar to protect against the wind. To keep the body as warm as possible, the sleeves and bottom of the fleece are equipped with welts, allowing us to adjust the sweatshirt to our individual figure.
