Awn hair
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Awn hairs are the intermediate hairs in a mammal's coat. They are shorter than the guard hairs and longer than the down hairs. They help with insulation and protect the down hairs underneath. Most of the visible coat is made of this kind of hair.
Marsupials have only awn hair.
