Next customers are buzzing about a cosy piece of “essential” clothing that is sure to help many see out the last of the freezing winter weather. It has received high praise for its comfortable fit and feel, with options ranging from bold abstract patterns to more basic options.
The Teddy Borg Cosy Longline Quarter Zip Fleece, priced at £32, is available in a range of styles that should match anyone’s taste. Plain black, blue, and red versions are available, but the leopard print version is the one which is impressing plenty of people as dozens of shoppers rate it a five-star buy.
Perfect for those times when a coat is too much but you still need an extra layer, Next claims the fleece as a “cold weather wardrobe essential”. Crafted from an “ultra-warm teddy borg quarter zip fleece”, it promises both supreme comfort and the usual high standard of the brand.
The description of the fleece adds: “This relaxed-fit top will keep you snug on laidback off-duty weekends, cosy on brisk morning walks, and stylish for autumnal coffee runs.” Currently on offer in sizes XS to XXL, most shoppers should find their fit.

The reviews section is full of positive feedback, reports the Mirror. Many confirm the fleece’s superior quality, with some even saying they hardly ever take it off.
One customer said: “So pleased I’ve bought this as it keeps me warm and cosy. The pockets are great, and I love the trim colour. It is a great fit and is great for layering.” Another added: “It’s just great-especially on these cold winter days! It’s slightly oversized, but that’s how I wanted it. I can layer up under it, and it can be worn outside and in.”
A third shared: “I love it! I’ve had lots of compliments. It’s a great length for me as I’m tall at five foot ten”. Someone else wrote: “Great for autumnal walks and chillier days. Washes and dries really well too.”
A fifth added: “Perfect, cosy, soft jumper! It’s been my favourite jumper this winter!” One more shopper wrote: “Love the funnel neck. The zip detail in burgundy looks really stylish too. It’s also nice and soft on the inside.”
However, not all customers were satisfied. One said: “The quality of the garment was good but, unfortunately, I had to send it back. I ordered two sizes (L and XL) – the large was too small and the extra large too big and too long. Somewhere in the middle would have been fine.”
Another warned fellow shoppers: “Love this fleece, although it is on the thinner side.” A third commented: “I was hoping for it to be a bit thicker.”
