I believe Polartec®, manufactured in Lawrence, Massachusetts, is the best fleece available. I found the 200 weight perfect for use with this scarf. The fleece is soft, flexible, and is offered in a variety of colors. The reflective material works well on the fleece, it can be sewn on properly and provides excellent reflectivity. The whole is aesthetically pleasing.
This is what the manufacturer Malden Mills has to say about Polartec®:
Anyone who spends time in the outdoors knows that comfort and sometimes even survival depend on staying warm. All insulation fabrics operate by trapping warm air pockets and holding them next to your body. The more loft a fabric possesses, the more air it will trap. The key to creating warm fabrics that are light yet durable is the finishing process, and in this category, Polartec® has the most sophisticated facilities on earth. Polartec® stands for warmth without weight, durability and lasting value.
Who should own a reflective scarf? Well, everyone!
Can you think of anyone who wants to be mowed down on the road? Well, I can’t either! The Flyboys by Bullseye™ scarf is perfect for cold weather runners, hikers and walkers, or any activity where your visibility is important.
What is the weight of the FLYBOYS BY BULLSEYE™ reflective scarf?
Polartec® fleece comes in 100 (microfiber), 200 and 300 weights; the higher the number, the heavier and warmer the fabric. The FLYBOYS BY BULLSEYE™ scarf fabric is 200 weight – 12.5 ounces per linear yard.
What is the reflective material in the FLYBOYS BY BULLSEYE™ reflective scarf?
Our reflective scarf Improves your visibility at night
It’s 3M 8910 reflective tape, which is composed of wide-angle exposed retro-reflective lenses bonded to a durable cloth backing. The silver fabric is 65% polyester/35% cotton with a 3M trademark. It is certified to occupational or industrial clothing standards such as ANSI/ISEA 107-2004 American National Standard for high visibility safety
What is the difference between Polartec® fleece and copycat fleece?
Copycat fleece is thinner, it pills and mats, and the colors are fuzzy.
Polartec® is 100% polyester and comes in lots of vibrant colors. And Polartec® fibers stand upright, which gives them their thermal qualities.

How does the reflective material work?
This is what 3M has to say about 3M Scotchlite Reflective Material&trade:
When used properly, it helps enhance visibility in nighttime or low light conditions. When illuminated by a light source such as headlights, it works by returning the light back toward the original source and reaching, for instance, the auto driver’s eye.
How do you wash the FLYBOYS BY BULLSEYE™ reflective scarf?
Machine wash cool, and dry on the fluff (no heat) setting or just hang up — the scarf comes out of the wash almost dry. Wash with like fabrics. Do not dry clean. No need to prewash. Never use a hot iron.
