Searching for web and world cat research for fabricating kayak clot
$ing led to tripping over fleece "microfleece" last time I looked
this stuff was aimed at young mothers (why no old mothers? I'm butt
deep in old mothers)
"nanofleece," "flashgordonfleece," "matrixfleece," various
"eurofleeces" (as if distance with sophistication yields credibility
without liability-nooo namibiafleece), and off course
"youarefleecedfleece"
Fleece, I read, comes with stretchable! gortex on one side, fleece
middle, then a web of poly leading to one more claim of warmth without
sweating.
I bought a cheap sprayed on breathable rain parka-red ledge-and heard
a ventilator start up after walking across the room with it on.
The fleece as a rain suit/warm jacket fall into the not yet needing a
wet suit environment.
Good for cape cod/bangor/asia minor

You're paying for the R & D plus the accumulated skill.
