This winter has certainly been a cold one, with temperatures here in Britain dropping well into minus numbers
. Up in the highlands of Scotland there was a recorded temperature of -22 degree Celsius! I've also read of these freak weather conditions hitting mainland Europe, with snow coming down on places than haven't seen snow for 50 years! When we are going out in these extreme weather conditions, which surely must be attributed to global warming, we must make sure we are adequately protected, wearing many layers to keep warm. A fleece top is a great piece of clothing that keeps the warm in whilst being thin and stopping you from looking like the Michelin man. Fleeces originally came from the sheep after it was sheared and used on the insides of coats to keep you warm. Nowadays they are man-made comprising of plastic, providing a better level of protection from the cold since the wool had (obvious) gaps in it. Thus they keep the hot air in and protect the body. They are several types of fleeces available to but from basic ranges to more advanced technologies and designs being used which while providing added insulation and protection from the cold will be highly breathable, allowing moisture out, keeping your body nice and dry. There are several stylish branded fleece tops available to buy that will have you looking very smart and cool as well as keeping you nice and warm such as Mammut fleece tops with their cool mammoth design. With this level of protection you no longer have to worry what Mother Nature will throw at you.
