Troubleshooting
Fabric appearing fuzzy or pilling
Avoid washing with abrasive fabrics like denim or garments with Velcro; use a fabric shaver to gently remove existing pills.
Moisture does not seem to wick effectively
Check if you have used fabric softener, which coats the fibers; wash the garment without softener to restore performance.
Zipper feels stiff
Check for fabric caught in the Vislon track and apply a tiny amount of zipper lubricant or a graphite pencil tip to the teeth to ease movement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your fleece, follow standard care guidelines for technical polyester fabrics. Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent and avoid using fabric softeners, as these can inhibit the moisture-wicking properties of the material. Air drying is recommended to maintain the integrity of the synthetic fibers and elastic bindings.
Regarding compatibility, this piece is designed as a midlayer. It fits best under standard-sized waterproof shells. Ensure the stretch-bound collar is fully zipped up if layering to prevent bulk accumulation around the neck area.
