When the wind is blowing cold and strong you'll want a jacket that keeps you dry and warm. The [mid-weight polyester fleece blend](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khl-dynawool-skuba-hoody) offers you the perfect balance of warmth and comfort. The breathable material dries quickly and insulates even when it's wet. The hood is great too and operates the same way, so if you forget your hat on your way out the door, just pop up the hood and you'll still be super warm. The neckline raises high so your neck will be warm, also eliminating the need for a [scarf](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scarf-coat). The arms have thumbholes so you won't feel a cold draft going up your arm. This adorable [fuzzy fleece coat](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/patagonia-retrox-jacket) is highly functional and made of the best blend of material to keep you dry and warm this winter. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 54% | Activity: 24% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Flight Fleece Coats:** Opportunity for creating innovative flight-inspired jackets that offer both style and warmth. - **Polyester Fleece Blend:** Potential for developing new blends of fleece materials that provide optimal warmth and comfort. - **Breathable Insulating Fabrics:** Disruptive potential for fabrics that offer quick-drying properties and insulation even when wet. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion & Apparel:** Fashion brands can capitalize on the trend by designing stylish yet functional flight-inspired jackets for cold weather. - **Outdoor Gear:** Outdoor gear companies can explore the opportunity to create innovative fleece coats with enhanced features for outdoor enthusiasts. - **Textile Manufacturing:** Textile manufacturers can focus on developing new breathable and insulating fabric technologies to meet the demand for high-performance outdoor clothing. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Extreme Insulation Winter Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shackleton-fuchs-down-jacket.md) - [Hybrid Insulation Winter Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khl-crossfire.md) - [Performance Fleece Hoodies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deep-sea-diver.md) - [Adventurous Alpine-Ready Coats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/houdini-moonwalk-houdi.md) - [Fall-Ready Timeless Aviator Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aviator-jacket-1.md) - [Four-Way Stretch Wool Hoodies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khl-dynawool-skuba-hoody.md) - [Alpaca Wool Fleece Sweaters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pakacloud-fleece.md) - [Baffle Construction Down Hoodies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khl-firestorm.md) - [Featherlight Ultra-Rare Down Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eiderdown-puffer-jacket.md)
