November and December may be when I bust out the turtlenecks and fuzzy socks, but January calls for more serious arsenal. I’m talking multiple layers, sherpa-lined everything, and a few really good fleece sweaters I can live in until spring. The only problem? Fleeces can be pricey. Brands like Patagonia and North Face are known for make an excellent sweater, but with $100+ price tags, I’m not willing to buy more than one. And I need options!

Enter: Amazon’s fleece selection. It looks like the expensive, brand-label thing — but without the cost. And I’m buying several for myself this winter, because I’m tired of walking around the house wrapped in a blanket all day long!

The Best Fleeces You Can Find on Amazon

Aoang Womens Oversized Sherpa Jacket
This one reminds me a lot of the Patagonia Retro-X fleece, but it’s nearly $200 cheaper. It’s perfectly oversized, without looking like you went through a shrink machine. It’s aesthetically pleasing while being super functional and keeping you toasty — plus, it’s great for layering. “Love love love. So soft and warm for the cold winter. I love the zipper pockets. Extra love the elastic band around the waist! So comfortable I want to wear all day,” one customer writes.

Sizes available: S-XXL
Color options: 12
Anrabess Women’s Long Sleeve Oversized Half Zip Fleece Sweatshirt
We love a half-zip option — zip down when it’s a little warmer out and you want to show off your T-shirt, zip up when it’s cold and you need more insulation! Wear cinched for a more styled look, or un-cinched if you want something looser. “Very high quality and warm and cozy as expected !! I want one in ever color,” one shopper says. This looks really similar to the Free People Nantucket Fleece, but it’s actually in stock and waaaay more affordable.

Sizes available: XS-XL
Color options: 15
Zesica Women’s Plaid Long Sleeve Zipper Sherpa Fleece Sweatshirt
This option comes in 10 plaid color options, and all are equally soft and fuzzy. Another half-zip, this also has roomy pockets on the sides. It’s definitely on the more slouchy side, so if you need something more fitted, this may not be for you! “This could easily be that sweater that you live in for the next decade until it’s rags falling off you and your spouse is begging for you to get a new one. It’s ridiculously comfortable. Super cute too though, so I don’t feel bad hanging out in the pick up lane every day in it,” a shopper writes in her review.

Sizes available: S-XL
Color options: 10
Kirundo Women’s Winter Lapel Fuzzy Fleece Sweatshirt
If you need more weather coverage for your neck, this faux sherpa sweater has a lapel collar and zip-up high neckline which is basically an optional turtleneck. Like the others, either hand-wash or wash in a laundry bag to extend its longevity. “These are my favorite sherpas I have ever had. I have 4 of them, the gray, pink and now the light yellow and the gray/white one mix. They all are very warm and soft! Living in WI, they are perfect for fall/winter,” one customer says.

Sizes available: S-XL
Color options: 15
Nirovien Womens Fuzzy Fleece Jacket
For a jacket-style fleece, look no further than this sweater (with buttons versus a zipper), which is made of a polyester-spandex blend, giving it slightly more stretch than the others on this list. It also has plenty of pockets, making it a functional choice that’ll keep you bundled up all winter long. Size up if you want to be able to layer this on top of your other sweaters. This short and sweet review sums it up: “LOVE this jacket. It has turned in to a fall/winter staple. Highly recommend.”

Sizes available: S-XL
Color options: 15
