Breathable Micro Fleece 180GSM Anti Pilling For Jacket Lining
This 180GSM breathable micro fleece is specifically engineered as a lining fabric for jackets that require lightweight warmth, superior airflow, and long‑lasting surface integrity. The micro fleece construction uses ultra‑fine polyester fibers that are brushed on one side to create a low‑profile, velvety surface – much thinner and more breathable than traditional heavy polar fleece. At 180 grams per square meter, this fabric adds gentle insulation against cool mornings or air‑conditioned environments without trapping body heat during active wear. The anti‑pilling finish (Grade 4) ensures the brushed surface stays clean and smooth, even after repeated friction against outer shells or body movement. The 100% polyester composition wicks moisture away from the skin and dries quickly, preventing clamminess inside the jacket. For windbreaker inners, softshell linings, training jacket shells, and performance hoodies, this breathable micro fleece provides the ideal combination of light warmth, soft next‑to‑skin comfort, and passive moisture management.

Why this 180GSM breathable micro fleece is the perfect jacket lining:
Breathable micro fleece prevents overheating – Air permeability of 85‑115 CFM allows warm, moist air to escape from the body. Unlike standard fleece linings (often <30 CFM), this fabric keeps the wearer dry and comfortable during active use.
180GSM lightweight insulation without bulk – Adds just enough warmth for cool‑weather jackets, windbreakers, or as a shell liner. The low‑profile fleece does not restrict movement or add noticeable weight to the finished garment.
Anti‑pilling (Grade 4) for long‑lasting appearance – The brushed surface resists fuzz balls even after repeated abrasion from outer shells, zippers, and body movement. The lining stays smooth and professional looking.
Soft, non‑scratchy skin contact – The single‑brushed surface is smooth against the skin – no need for an additional inner layer. Tested against inner forearm and neck with no irritation reported.
Moisture vapor transmission (MVTR 4800) – Sweat vapor passes through the fleece to the outer shell, then evaporates. The lining itself does not become waterlogged. Ideal for high‑output activities where sweat management is critical.
Quick drying for multi‑session use – After washing or heavy sweating, the micro fleece air‑dries in about 33 minutes. Jackets can be washed and worn on consecutive days.
Durable enough for active use – Tear strength >32N and pilling grade 4 are sufficient for lining fabric that faces daily friction. The fabric resists snagging from zippers or hook‑and‑loop fasteners during assembly.
Primary jacket lining applications for this breathable micro fleece:
Windbreaker and softshell jacket linings
Training hoodie and track jacket inners
Lightweight puffer jacket lining (adds warmth without weight)
Rain jacket interior layer (improves comfort against waterproof shell)
Team warm‑up jacket linings
Outdoor sports jacket linings (hiking, cycling)
Workwear jacket linings (breathable, comfortable)
Travel jacket inners (quick drying, wrinkle‑resistant)
Q1: How breathable is 85‑115 CFM for a fleece lining fabric?
Very breathable for a fleece. Most standard polar fleece linings (200‑300GSM) have air permeability below 30 CFM – they trap heat and moisture. Our micro fleece at 180GSM achieves 85‑115 CFM because the micro‑denier fibers create a more open structure. This means sweat vapor escapes rather than condensing inside the jacket. For comparison, a typical breathable rainwear fabric is 50‑100 CFM. So this fleece breathes as well as many softshell outer fabrics.
Q2: Is 180GSM warm enough for winter jacket linings?
180GSM provides light to moderate insulation – ideal for temperatures from 5°C to 15°C (41‑59°F) as a jacket lining. For below‑freezing conditions, we recommend layering with a heavier fleece (250GSM+) or using this as a mid‑layer rather than a lining. For spring/fall jackets and gym wear, 180GSM is perfect.
Q3: Does the anti‑pilling finish wear off after washing?
No. The anti‑pilling property is achieved through a combination of fiber selection (micro denier polyester) and mechanical finishing, not a topical coating. Independent testing shows Grade 4 pilling resistance maintained after 50 wash cycles. Some minor surface fuzzing may occur after extended use, but it will not form visible pills.
Q4: Is a recycled polyester version available for this breathable micro fleece?
Yes. We offer a GRS‑certified recycled polyester version of this exact 180GSM micro fleece. The recycled yarn is produced from post‑consumer PET bottles (e.g., beverage containers). The breathability (85‑115 CFM), anti‑pilling performance (Grade 4), tear strength (>32N), and drying time (33 minutes) are all within 5% of the virgin version. The recycled fleece maintains the same soft hand and moisture management properties. Minimum order for recycled is 800 meters. Please request a recycled swatch and a copy of the GRS certificate for verification.
Q5: How do I care for garments with this fleece lining?
Machine wash cold (30°C) with similar colors. Do not bleach. Tumble dry low or hang dry. Do not use fabric softener – it can coat the fibers and reduce breathability and wicking. Avoid high‑heat ironing directly on the fleece. Following these steps, the fabric will retain its anti‑pilling and breathability for over 50 washes.
Q6: Can this micro fleece be used as an outer shell instead of lining?
Technically yes, but it is optimized as a lining. The single‑brushed side is soft against skin, but the unbrushed back is less durable and may pill faster if exposed directly to abrasion. For outerwear applications, we offer the same micro fleece with double‑brushed finish (softer both sides) or a higher weight (220GSM). Please ask for our outerwear fleece options.
Q7: What colors are available for jacket linings?
We stock 20 colors including black, charcoal, navy, dark grey, light grey, olive, burgundy, and white. For custom color matching to your outer shell fabric, we offer dyeing with a minimum order of 500 meters. Lab dip lead time is 10‑12 days. We also offer an anti‑static finish for linings that will be used with static‑prone outer shells (e.g., nylon).
