Product Information
Full details
The Jack Wolfskin Fortberg Jacket in Pink (Size M) is designed for adult women seeking a breathable and warm mid-layer for outdoor activities. Its key benefit is providing comfort through its fleece material and full-length zip for ventilation. A potential caveat is that it functions best as a layering piece rather than a standalone outer shell in harsh weather. This jacket features a full-length zip for adjustable ventilation, two zipped hand pockets for secure storage, and is constructed from breathable fleece to maintain warmth without overheating.

Machine wash cold (30°C) on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry.

Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Ensure the zipper is clean and free of fabric or debris. Gently rub the teeth with a graphite pencil tip. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
Fleece feels matted or less soft after washing
Avoid using fabric softeners and high heat in the dryer. Wash on a gentle cycle and air dry or tumble dry on low. Gently brush the fleece with a soft brush to restore loft.

Care Instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash cold (30°C) on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners, as they can damage the fleece fibers.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or hang to air dry. Avoid high heat, which can melt or damage the fleece.
- Ironing: Do not iron the fleece. If creases occur, gently stretch the fabric or use a steamer on a low setting away from the material.
- Zippers: Keep zippers clean and free of debris. If a zipper becomes stiff, a small amount of graphite (pencil lead) can help lubricate it.
