Mid-layers and fleece for women
The mid-layer is what keeps you warm. It traps heat and moves moisture away from your base layer, so you don't get cold when you stop. Classics like the Power Houdi in Polartec Power Stretch Pro have been part of the Houdini range for more than two decades.
Combine with a shell jacket when it is windy or rainy. Find the right model in our hoodie guide or the guide find the perfect fleece.
What is a mid-layer?
The mid-layer is the garment between your base layer and outer jacket, such as a fleece or a light insulated jacket. It insulates and moves moisture away so you stay warm and dry.
Fleece or wool as a mid-layer?
Fleece is durable, dries quickly and can take a lot. Wool is soft and naturally odour-resistant. Both work well – the choice depends on your activity and what you prefer against the skin.
