A staple of college life and outdoor events, sweatshirts and fleeces offer year-round comfort.
There’s one product category with the highest impressions per lifetime, according to ASI’s 2026 Ad Impressions Study – fleece and jackets, with 9,000.
Around 87% of consumers would keep a fleece for over a year, and 78% would wear it once per week. Though both branded fleeces and sweatshirts can be on the pricier side of promo, the versatility and usefulness of the products make them a classic pick.
