FHM, (Australian mens magazine), this month featured an article, "40 fashion mistakes you're making right now". One of them was unless you are hiking/bushwalking, DO NOT WEAR POLAR FLEECE TOPS. I do have a few. I wear them when landscaping, walking the dog, or doing anything where I think I might get dirty, and don't give a rats arse if I ruin the polar fleece top.
Apparently, advantages of fleece are that it is:
Soft and comfortable to wear.
Very warm and provides warmth without weighing a lot.
I don't find mine very comfortable with that stupid fucking 3 foot neck zip and the tightarse wrists.
Definitions of polar on the web:
arctic: extremely cold; "an arctic climate"; "a frigid day"; "gelid waters of the North Atlantic"; "glacial winds"; "icy hands"; "polar weather"
Mine, however, I don't find particularly warm. My fluffy pimp jacket is warm.
