FAQs
Is the Daybreaker Half-Zip waterproof?
No, this is a fleece garment and is not waterproof. It should be worn under a shell for wet weather protection.
Can this fleece be worn as a base layer?
While it can be worn directly against the skin, it is primarily designed as a mid-layer to be worn over a technical base layer.
Does it provide wind protection?
The material is breathable by design and does not block wind. You will need a windproof shell in breezy conditions.
Is the fabric prone to pilling?
Like most high-quality microfleece, the fabric is durable, but avoid abrasive surfaces to minimize the risk of pilling over time.
How do I choose the right size?
The Daybreaker features a standard fit. Refer to the specific size guide for XXXXL, ensuring you have enough room for a base layer underneath.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels less warm than when new
The fibers may have become matted from excessive heat or fabric softener. Ensure you are air-drying or using low heat and avoiding softeners.
Zipper sticking
Ensure no fabric is caught in the track. If the zipper remains stiff, apply a small amount of graphite or specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Polartec fleece maintains its loft and thermal properties, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash on a warm, gentle cycle using a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can clog the fleece fibers and reduce breathability.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Avoid high heat as it can damage the microfleece structure.
- Compatibility: This garment functions best as a mid-layer. It is fully compatible with any standard shell jacket or technical outerwear that features a mid-layer attachment loop or standard fit.
