Next’s Borg Fleeces See Strong Demand as Shoppers Praise Warmth and Value

Shopper reviews highlight strong demand for Next's borg layers.

Overview

  • Hands-on try-ons and regional roundups point to a broader borg revival for autumn, with Next fielding multiple options at £30–£82 alongside similar lines from Marks & Spencer and New Look.
  • The £82 Ecru Cream Borg Duffle Fleece draws praise for looking and feeling pricier than its tag, with an oversized boxy cut, faux‑leather button hoops and a warm high neck, though buttons can be fiddly and the structured lining and shape won’t suit everyone.
  • Next’s £35 Orange/Green Abstract Print Borg Half Zip, made from 100% recycled polyester and offered in regular and petite up to 3XL, earns five‑star comments for being “so cosy and warm,” with notes that pockets lack zips and the fit runs big.
  • The £36 Threadbare Half Zip Borg Fleece holds a 4.2 rating and comes in four colours, with shoppers calling it comfy and ideal for in‑between seasons, while some report generous sizing and a stiff feel from the lining; certain colours are starting to sell out.
  • For £30, the Teddy Borg Cosy Longline Quarter Zip is machine washable and praised as a go‑to for keeping warm, though a few buyers found the relaxed fit too large; across pieces, reviewers frame them as great for layering in cool, dry conditions rather than wet weather.
