Outdoor Adventures with MEC’s Fireside Fleece Collection
Fall Adventures, Family Time, and Staying Warm!
As the crisp autumn air settles in, our family is always ready for new outdoor adventures. Whether we’re apple picking or wandering through colourful trails, fall is all about connection and exploration. It’s the perfect time for making lasting memories together. From trekking through the woods to visiting Halloween-themed events, one thing is essential—staying cozy. This season, the MEC Fireside Fleece Collection has been our go-to for warmth during our outdoor escapades!
Keeping Cozy with the Fireside Collection
This fall, we’ve already enjoyed some of our favourite family activities. We started by apple picking in the orchards and visiting the Carp Fair. Next was a fun trip to Pumpkins After Dark, where we saw over 10,000 carved pumpkins. The kids loved every spooky display. As the sun dipped below the horizon, we were all grateful for our Fireside Fleeces to keep us warm.
The most unforgettable moment this month, was during one late-night adventure to Shirley’s Bay. We caught a glimpse of the magnificent Aurora Borealis. Standing by the water at midnight, wrapped in our fleeces, we felt the cool night breeze but stayed perfectly toasty!
Why We’re Loving Our Fireside Fleeces
The MEC Fireside Fleece Collection is more than just a jacket—it’s a family staple for every fall and winter outing. What makes these fleeces truly special is that they’re made from 100% recycled polyester, making them not only cozy but also eco-friendly. They come in a variety of styles, including zip-ups and pullovers, and are available for men, women, children, and even babies—so no one in the family is left out!
Men’s Fireside Fleece Jacket: Warm and Durable
The Men’s Fireside Fleece Jacket is designed with adventure in mind, whether you’re exploring the front country or the backcountry. This midweight fleece is made from recycled polyester, providing both warmth and sustainability. It features durable woven nylon in high-wear areas, dual handwarmer pockets, and a zippered chest pocket for keeping small essentials safe. With a relaxed fit and a cord-lock at the hem to seal in warmth, this jacket is perfect for layering or wearing on its own for those crisp fall days.
My husband has been loving his Ponderosa/Deep Navy Fireside Fleece, while my son is rocking his in Black/Rosin. Both of them have been staying warm and comfortable during all of our family adventures this season.
Women’s Fireside Snap Pullover: Cozy and Stylish
The Women’s Fireside Snap Pullover offers both comfort and style. Made from the same plush, midweight recycled fleece, this pullover is ideal for layering during fall hikes or as a cozy top for post-adventure campfires. The snap placket allows for easy temperature regulation, and the drop-tail hem provides extra coverage, perfect for those moments when you need a little extra warmth. Just like the men’s version, this pullover features dual handwarmer pockets and durable nylon in high-wear areas to ensure it holds up, no matter the adventure.
My daughter and I are twinning this season in the Alder/Summit colourway, and we’re loving the pullover look! It’s perfect to wear on its own for a casual day out or under a loose puffer for those extra chilly days.
Perfect for Outdoor Family Activities
The MEC Fireside Collection fits true to size and provides that casual, relaxed comfort you need during your family outings. The kids’ versions are just as warm and cozy as the adult styles, making sure everyone stays snug during those evening adventures. These fleeces handle everything, from hiking through the woods to visiting the pumpkin patch on a cold autumn day.
