FAQs

Is this fleece suitable for very cold weather?

The Taunus fleece is a lightweight to mid-weight layer. For very cold weather, it is best used as part of a layering system, combined with a warm base layer and an insulated or waterproof outer shell.

How do I ensure the best fit?

Refer to the size chart provided by Jack Wolfskin for accurate measurements. The product is designed for a comfortable fit that allows for layering underneath.

Can I wear this as a standalone jacket?

Yes, for mild to cool conditions. It offers some wind resistance but is not fully windproof, and its primary function is insulation. For windy or wet conditions, an outer shell is recommended.

What does 'bluesign certified' mean?

It means the fabric has been manufactured using a stringent process that minimizes environmental impact, conserves resources, and ensures consumer safety. It's a mark of sustainable textile production.

How often should I wash my fleece?

Wash your fleece as needed based on usage. For optimal fabric care, wash gently after several wears or when visibly soiled. Follow the specific care instructions to maintain its properties.

Will this fleece keep me dry in the rain?

This fleece is not waterproof. While its breathable nature helps manage sweat, it will absorb moisture if exposed to rain. It is intended to be worn under a waterproof jacket in wet conditions.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels less warm after washing.

Avoid using fabric softener, as it can coat the fleece fibers and reduce their insulating capability. Ensure all detergent is thoroughly rinsed out. Air dry instead of using a machine dryer.

Pilling on the fleece surface.

Pilling is a common characteristic of fleece over time. To minimize it, wash the garment inside out on a gentle cycle and air dry. Avoid abrasive contact.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth. You can apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth for smoother operation. Avoid excessive force.

Care Instructions: To maintain the quality and longevity of your fleece:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 30°C (86°F) on a gentle cycle, preferably with a wool or delicates detergent.
  2. Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly to remove all detergent residue.
  3. Drying: Air dry the fleece. Avoid using a tumble dryer, as high heat can damage the fibers and affect the fleece's texture and insulating properties.
  4. Ironing: Do not iron the fleece. The heat can melt or damage the synthetic fibers.
  5. Cleaning Agents: Do not use bleach or fabric softeners, as they can degrade the material and affect its performance.
