How to choose?
Choosing fleece clothes and hoping that it will last more than one season, you should not chase cheapness. The quality, as well as the cost of fleece, depends on its density. The best option for Russian winter is a density of 200 grams per square meter (look for the label). Options with a lower density are called microfleece and are more suitable for warm clothes or home clothes. If the label indicates a density of about 300 grams per square, be aware that in such clothes you can go even in the cold winter.
Note that a dense high-quality fleece is not blown at all, but at the same time it quietly passes air from the body. Pay attention to how the fabric behaves during compression. If the fleece "creaks", then this is a low-quality product that will lose its properties after the first acquaintance with a washing machine.
You also need to determine the thickness of the product. There are several types of fleece - from very thin, suitable as home clothes or a suit for outerwear, to thick, which acts as an independent protection from the cold.
Most often, fleece jackets have a zipper, you need to look at it especially. If this is a thing for the street, the castle should be additionally glued, and even better - have a fleece strip for protection from the cold wind. For the street costume, the lining plays a big role - now you can even find membrane options that are suitable for the coldest time of the year.
It is good if the street suit is equipped with fixing cords on the bottom of the jacket, as well as tight cuffs on the sleeves and legs. The hood must also have a drawstring to cover your head from the draft.
Regarding clothes for home and sports, it is more likely to focus on your feelings. The suit should sit well, not fit, but not hang, you should like its color and it should be convenient to move in such clothes - not only walk or run, but also sit, lie and make active movements with arms and legs.
