Strange this question regarding buying fleeces should come up as I would not usually buy fleeces, just because it is not my sort of thing, but my daughter is going skiing with her school and I have been looking at buying suitable wear for her which includes a couple of fleeces. I have with regard to them specifically not yet made a decision, but it strikes me there are many levels of quality and price. From M & S offering at £9.50 through to North Face at up to £60. I have looked at both department stores as well as outdoor clothing outlets such as Blacks. Obviously if you were wanting long term wear and serious warmth and insulation I would look to the later, expecting the brand to be made for this purpose. However as my daughter is unlikely to be needing alot of wear from the product I am swaying towards the cheaper. I have not noticed anywear else promoting fleeces from recycled bottles but think this is a selling point I would be keen to support but only at the right price. I would expect George to keep their pricing to around the £10 mark and would hope for a good colour range with half zip style. My only other view is that I think it is a bit late in the season for this year but I assume you are thinking ahead for next winter stock.
