Synchilla

The development of chinchilla was a milestone fabric in the evolution of fleece. "Synchilla" (Synthetic Chinchilla) was the first generation fleece. In 1985, Synchilla was used in product "seminal Snap-T pullover" from Patagonia, Inc., which was popular in ski trips across the Northeast.^[5]

For many, many years, Synchilla was the Kleenex of fleece, if you will.
