Fake fur, fun fur, or faux fur is any material designed to resemble fur, normally as part of a piece of clothing. It is also used in purses, bags, and multiple other objects. Typically it is made of synthetic fibers. It does not require animal products and often costs less than its counterpart. However, it has a few disadvantages compared to fur: it does not hold in as much warmth as true fur and may shed. Currently, there are no synthetic materials that have been able to keep snow from melting and re-freezing on the fur's fiber filaments; this is very important especially in hiking, mountain climbing, skiing and other outdoor activities which are done in extreme conditions.
