Sweaters, Fleece, and Vests

Insulators are that extra layer you need for the very cold days or when you are using a lighter garment like a shell.  Insulators can be a sweater, fleece or a vest.  In the milder weather, they can even be your outer layer, especially when they have windstopper by Gortex.  Wool and wool blend sweaters have partly been replaced by the wide selection of fleece.  Although nothing can replace a beautiful classic sweater by Dale of Norway.  Fleece comes in many weights, solids and prints, even with wind and waterproof features.
