FAQs
Is this jacket windproof?
No, the Benton Springs jacket is made of soft fleece and is not windproof; it is best suited for layering under a wind-resistant shell in windy conditions.
Can I put this in the dryer?
It is best to air dry to keep the fleece soft. If you must use a machine, use the lowest heat setting and remove it while slightly damp.
Does the sizing run true to fit?
The jacket follows a modern classic fit, which is generally true to size. If you plan on wearing thick layers underneath, some users prefer to size up.
Is the material heavy?
No, it uses MTR filament fleece which is lightweight yet provides efficient thermal insulation.
Does it have an inside pocket?
The jacket features two external side zippered security pockets but does not have dedicated interior pockets.
Troubleshooting
Zipper feels stiff or catches
Check for fabric stuck in the zipper track. If it remains stiff, lightly rub a pencil tip along the zipper teeth to act as a dry lubricant.
Fleece looks matted after washing
This is common for fleece. Use a fabric brush or a gentle garment comb to fluff the fibers back up after the garment is completely dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This jacket requires no specific setup; it is ready to wear immediately upon purchase. For compatibility, it layers perfectly under windbreakers or rain jackets due to its slim, fleece-based profile. To maintain the integrity of the MTR fleece, wash the jacket in cold water on a gentle cycle. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can coat the fibers and degrade the material's insulating properties. Air drying is highly recommended to prevent pilling and extend the lifespan of the garment.
