Fleece comes in lots of different weights and styles. OBB uses 100% polyester fleece from Malden Mills in our diaper products. Malden Mills fleeces are the top-quality standard for diapers. They are easy to care for, do not pill, shrink or fade, and dry quickly. Here we show your options for two types of fleeces:
You might choose to use this fleece instead of PUL for your diaper covers or as an AIO outer layer. This fabric was originally designed for outdoor garments to block out the most extreme wet or windy conditions. The tight knit construction is highly breathable, yet blocks 95% wetness. We use the lightest weight Malden Mills waterproofing, weather blocking fleece. You will be surprised at how light and breathable a waterproofing fleece can be. One layer is light, yet sufficient for long-term day use and even resists pressure-wicking (our heavy-wetting daughter has tested them to the limit!). For a night-time cover, you might request 2 layers, depending on your child.
We do currently have one option available for medium-weight waterproof fleece (see the chart below, the charcoal). It is snuggly soft, and great for a cover, however the light-weight weatherproofing fleece is lighter and more waterproof, and better for night covers.
