Columbia Helvetia II Fleece - Green, L

The fleece is constructed from 100% polyester sherpa pile, providing warmth and a soft texture.

While it provides good warmth, it is best suited for cool to moderately cold weather. For very cold or snowy conditions, it's recommended to use it as a mid-layer beneath a waterproof and insulated outer jacket.

Refer to the brand's sizing chart for accurate measurements. The product description notes that the model, who is 6'0.5", wears a size medium, which can serve as a general reference.

The zippered chest pocket is designed for small essentials. The size of a smartphone it can hold will depend on the phone's dimensions. It's best suited for slimmer phones or cards and keys.

Machine wash cold with like colors, use non-chlorine bleach if needed, and tumble dry on a low setting. Avoid ironing and dry cleaning.

The 'Icons collection' typically refers to heritage styles or classic designs from the brand that are re-released or updated, offering a timeless aesthetic.

Ensure you are following the care instructions precisely. Avoid high heat during washing and drying. Using a fabric softener specifically designed for synthetic materials might help restore softness, but always test on an inconspicuous area first.

Check for any fabric obstructions caught in the zipper. Gently try to clear any snags. If the zipper remains stiff, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a specialized zipper lubricant can be applied to the teeth.

Consider the environmental conditions. This fleece is best suited for cool to moderately cold weather. For colder temperatures, layer it over a thermal base layer and/or under a windproof or insulated outer jacket.
