FAQs
Is this hoodie waterproof?
No, it is designed for warmth and breathability, not as a waterproof garment. It is best used as a mid-layer.
Can I put this in the dryer?
Yes, but use the lowest heat setting to prevent damage to the polyester fibers.
What is Polartec fabric?
Polartec is a high-performance synthetic fleece known for its ability to provide warmth without the weight and bulk of traditional wool.
Is this suitable for summer?
The hoodie is designed for cold weather. It is likely too warm for summer use.
How do I choose the right size?
The hoodie follows standard UK sizing. Consult the size guide to ensure a proper fit, especially if planning to layer clothes underneath.
Troubleshooting
Zipper gets stuck
Check the fabric lining for trapped threads. Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and apply a small amount of graphite or candle wax to lubricate.
Fleece feels matted
Avoid fabric softeners. Use a soft-bristled brush to gently fluff the fleece fibers after washing and air drying.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this is a technical garment, proper care is essential to maintain the fleece's insulating properties. Machine wash the hoodie in cold water on a gentle cycle, preferably with like colors. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can clog the fibers and reduce the material's breathability. To ensure longevity, air drying or tumbling on a low-heat setting is recommended. Pair this hoodie with a waterproof shell jacket for complete weather protection in wet or snowy conditions.
