The Most Comfy Women’s Fleece Jackets

This Columbia Women’s Benton Springs Full Zip fleece is a wildly popular bestseller on Amazon. Women love this style for the very low price, the warm comfy material, and the flattering fit. The Benton is known for its warmth and comfort despite being quite a lightweight style, probably due to its 100% polyester MTR filament fleece.

Some of the outdoor recreation styles can get very pricey, so this is a very affordable alternative that has all of the features that you need in a highly functional jacket, including zippered pockets that are very durable as well as a sturdy front zipper that doesn’t catch.

The North Face Osito is a very warm and soft to the touch jacket that is a dream to put on and difficult to take off due to its supreme comfort. Since it is North Face, it is a performance fleece, so it is not surprisingly super warm yet quite thin. It is a bit pricey compared to other fleece options, but women who own this style find that it is worth the investment.

This is a great design that can function well as a layer or on its own as a plush coat. The pockets with zippers are perfect for keeping all of your valuables secure. The Osito is a super-soft option that is cozy, cute, and practical, although be aware that it does have a fairly prominent embroidered logo on the left chest as well as one on the back-right shoulder. The color selection is a little limited, but the colors are all beautiful.

The Uniqlo Women Fluffy Yarn Fleece Full-zip Jacket is a popular, inexpensive style that comes in lots of fashionable colors. If you are on the hunt for a fluffy jacket with a relaxed feel that won’t break the bank, this may be the jacket for you. The material is warm, and it has a classic stand collar that is great for keeping your neck warm if you close the full front zipper to the top.

It is a plush jacket that is much less expensive than other brands and is a bit more stylish and fashionable. If you are looking for a slightly different color, these Uniqlo styles are one of the best places to start (currently, they are available in twelve colors.) This style also isn’t too bulky and is easy to layer.

L.L Bean has a couple of good options in the fleece jacket category.  The L.L.Bean Sweater Fleece Full-Zip Jacket is their standard sweater style that is very similar to the Patagonia “Better Sweater” (see below) at a somewhat lower price. They also have the Classic Fleece Jacket that has a softer feel to it.

The regular Sweater design is a reliable option that will last forever that will keep you nice and warm over the winter months. It is slightly fitted and not boxy, so it makes a good under layer but not so great if you want to wear a thick layer under the sweater. It will fall at the hip on most women, so it isn’t a longer style and won’t cover your behind. It is pretty versatile since it can be worn both indoors and out and can be dressed up a little bit or dressed down as needed. The Sweater comes in ten colors, some very bold and unique. Some women find the label on the chest a bit too large, but it is easy to remove if it bothers you,

Both L.L. Bean options are known for having a flattering fit, being made of high-quality materials, and being warm. They also both have deep and roomy pockets, and the standup collars are excellent at resisting the wind.

The Amazon Essentials Women’s Full-Zip Polar Fleece Jacket is another great budget option that is perfect as a layer or a lightweight jacket. Some of the Amazon Essential products can be a bit hit or miss, but this jacket seems to be pretty popular for women who want a warm layer that and don’t want to have to pay for any expensive branding.

This jacket is pretty similar to the Columbia Benton with features like a midweight material, a high collar, a full-zip front, and sturdy zippered pockets that are nice and deep. The only thing to note about this garment is that the sleeves are a little long, but they are easy to roll up.

Patagonia’s Better Sweater is one of the most well-known high-quality fleece jackets going. It has been around for a long time and is one of the most expensive options. Some of the cost of the sweater is due to Patagonia’s sustainability and corporate responsibility policies concerning fair labor practices and safe working conditions in particular, so if you like to support companies that try to operate ethically, you may want to have a look at this brand.

As far as sustainability, the Better Sweater is made of a midweight 100% recycled polyester fleece that has been dyed and processed in a way that is much less damaging than other options. The Better Sweater is a full front zipper design that is made to be somewhat fitted. The pockets are deep and warm, and this a popular style that is loved for hiking or wearing as a layer. It is known for being durable, soft, and warm.

The Wubby Pullover from Thread & Supply is a favorite with a lot of folks on Instagram. It is often described as feeling like you are wearing a cloud due to the soft and cozy fleece that makes it perfect when the weather turns cold. It comes in a few different color options, including charcoal, indigo, smoke rose, and ivory (some colors are only available directly from Thread & Supply site).

The Wubby has a quarter-zip closure, which seems to be slightly more stylish than the full zip options. The pockets are a kangaroo style that works well if you love to warm up your hands in your pockets. The material is 100% polyester with a 100% rayon lining, making it incredibly cozy and soft on both the inside and the outside. The design is slightly on the boxy side, which makes it a good option for layering. The other great thing about the Wubby is that it is extremely warm. Overall this is a stylish, warm, and fuzzy pullover that will help you get through the colder months.

This MegaFleece Half-Zip Hoodie from Outdoor Voices had a 20,000 person waiting list after it sold out last year. Women seem to love it for its warmth, durability, and great design. Despite looking like a fashion jacket, this hoodie is designed for outdoor physical activity, so it is sweat-wicking and breathable during rigorous outdoor pursuits. This is another piece that is sustainably made with its use of 100 percent recycled wool. It comes in five colors, including sunflower yellow, vine green, Himalayan sea salt pink, oatmeal, and black.

The MegaFleece’s fit is generally considered true to size, but it does have an oversized look, so you have to be a bit careful when choosing sizes.  The many pockets on this sweater are deep and very functional for keeping all of your goodies, including the additional one on the sleeve. This is a jacket that is perfect for outdoor activities or indoor lounging.

The J Crew Polartec® Fleece Half-zip Pullover Jacket is a super soft, thick, and very warm design that is made from fleece from Polartec (the company that invented the warm, cozy fabric). Polartec is a durable fabric that will hold up for a long time, even with frequent washing and wear. This J Crew style has a high neck for extra warmth and for keeping the wind out.

The fit is relaxed but not oversized, so if you prefer oversized, you may want to consider going up a size, or if you wish to have a slightly tighter fit or to wear under coats, go down a size because the sleeves might be a bit bulky to fit under a jacket if you get your usual size. The zip pockets are roomy enough to hold phones or small wallets. The fabric feels like you are wrapped in a fuzzy blanket, but the cut of the jacket makes it surprisingly flattering for most body types.
