No. Fleece will not hold up.

That's why it's important to layer. They key is layering. One can never be "too warm" when fishing from now until summer time.

A cotton hoody will hold up and can be abused really heavily. If it's truly too cold for just the hoody, I'll put a windstopper fleece jacket over the hoody.

If it's wet out, on goes the G4 SIMM's jacket. That puppy keeps any wind and rain out.

Slap a fleece or windstopping touk on my head and the hoodie top is just a bonus layer in keep the cold off of my neck and head.

But, he's right in that a cotton anything won't keep you that warm. Fleece us much better for warmth.
