Kodiak Jackets

Our Kodiak jackets are made with super soft fleece that wicks moisture and dries quickly to keep you warm even when the temperature drops. It’s all in the name, really: The Kodiak. Inspired by the sleek, plush coat of these Alaskan behemoths, the warmth and comfort found in our 100% polyester fleece jackets and hoodies stands unrivaled. Choose a comfortable fit that’s soft and snug, like… a big bear hug. (Sorry, we couldn’t resist.) You really can’t beat the Kodiak.

HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT FLEECE JACKET

To choose the right fleece jacket, you have to think about function and fashion. Fleece jackets don’t cover up your outfit, they’re part of the outfit. That’s why our Kodiak jackets are the perfect combination of comfortable warmth and rugged style. What is rugged style? It takes classic essentials, sifts out the excess, then adds a bit of grit. Kodiak jackets fit the bill.

HOW TO WASH FLEECE KODIAK JACKETS

To get the longest and best life out of your Kodiak jacket, follow these tips about how to wash fleece:

• Before washing your Kodiak jacket, use a lint roller to remove lint from the fleece.
• Turn your Kodiak jacket inside-out, then put in the washer.
• Wash in cool water on the gentle cycle, and use a mild detergent.
• Do not use fabric softener or bleach on a fleece Kodiak jacket (or any fleece!).
• Hang up your Kodiak jacket to air dry, or, if your jacket’s care instructions permit it, tumble dry on the no heat setting.

KODIAK JACKETS: A BRIEF HISTORY OF FLEECE FABRIC

Fleece was born out of a desire to achieve the warmth of wool, but without the heaviness when wet, the slowness to dry, and the difficulty in cleaning. These were expectations that likely only a synthetic material could achieve.

Enter: a polyester pile fabric* originally used for toilet seat covers. (Yes, really.) Don’t worry though – after the original fleece sweater of the 1970s, many iterations and improvements followed, and today’s fleece jackets are softer than ever – all while providing the warmth, water-resistance, and quick-drying qualities we love about fleece.

*Fun fact: “pile fabrics” have a textured surface with visible piles of fibers that typically make the fabric warmer, softer, and more attractive.
