FAQs
Is the Ridgeline Ballistic Fleece Hoodie water-resistant?
The hoodie is made from breathable fleece, which is not water-resistant or waterproof. It should be worn under a rain shell in wet conditions.
Does this hoodie run true to size?
The sizing follows standard generic adult apparel sizing. For a layering-friendly fit, we recommend selecting your normal size, though you may size up for a looser fit.
Can I put this hoodie in the tumble dryer?
While air drying is recommended to extend the life of the fabric, you may use a tumble dryer on a very low, cool setting if absolutely necessary.
What is the primary function of the boot lace ties?
The boot lace ties on the hood allow you to pull the opening tight around your face, providing extra protection against wind and cold.
Is the zipped security pocket large enough for a modern smartphone?
The security pocket is designed for small essentials. Most standard-sized phones will fit, but larger 'Plus' or 'Max' size phones may be a tight squeeze.
Troubleshooting
Sleeve cuffs becoming stretched
Avoid pulling the sleeves hard while putting on the hoodie; use the thumb loops correctly to distribute tension across the fabric.
Zipper sticking or feeling stiff
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track; apply a tiny amount of dry graphite or zipper lubricant if the track remains stiff.
Pilling on the exterior surface
Pilling is a natural trait of fleece; use a fabric shaver or a sweater stone to gently remove surface lint and maintain a smooth appearance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your hoodie performing at its best, adhere to standard fleece care guidelines. Always wash the garment inside out in cool or lukewarm water to protect the outer texture. Avoid using harsh chemical detergents or fabric softeners, as these can strip the moisture-wicking properties of the fleece. For drying, air drying is the best method to prevent shrinkage and maintain the shape of the ribbed cuffs and hood ties. In terms of compatibility, the hoodie pairs best with base layers that have high moisture-wicking properties, ensuring sweat is pulled away from the body before the fleece traps the warmth.
