The zipper length is one of the distinguishing factor on this garment.  Rather than zip the full length of the jacket, the zipper is only 1/4 the length.  This means the only way to put the garment on is to pull it over your head.  If you are worried about messing your hair, you may want to go with the full zip instead.

Another distinguishing characteristic of this item is that it has a mock neck.  A mock-neck shirt neckline has a high collar that goes all the way around the wearers neck and is not folded down.  Learn more about mock neck tops.

Fleece is NOT just the woolly covering of a sheep or goat.  Fleece fabric is made from synthetic fiber. This material is generally very soft. It is can be manufactured from recycled plastic bottles or synthetic fibers, such as polyethylene . The fleece fabric is generally lightweight yet breathable, which means air can flow through it easily.  Learn more about breathable fabrics.

The polar fleece or also known simply as fleece is a synthetically made fabric from polyethylene terephthalate (PET).

A lightweight, warm and soft fabric, fleece has some of wool's good qualities but weighs a fraction of the lightest available woolens. Polar fleece garments traditionally come in different thicknesses: micro, 100, 200, and 300, with 300 being the thickest and least flexible.

Polar fleece is a soft napped insulating fabric made from polyester. Polar fleece originated in Massachusetts in 1979 when Malden Mills, (now Polartec LLC), and Patagonia developed Synchilla (synthetic chinchilla).  It was a new, light, strong pile fabric meant to mimic, and in some ways surpass, wool. Company CEO Aaron Feuerstein intentionally declined to patent polar fleece, allowing the material to be produced cheaply and widely by many vendors, leading to the material's quick and wide acceptance.
