Product Information
Full details
The Jack Wolfskin Taunus Half Zip Pullover Fleece is designed for adult women seeking a versatile and lightweight layering piece for year-round use. Its primary benefit is providing adjustable warmth and breathability, making it suitable as a mid-layer or standalone top. A potential consideration is its classic fleece finish, which may not offer the same wind resistance as more technical outer shells. This fleece features a half-zip for ventilation and is constructed from recycled POLARTEC 100 fleece.

FAQs
What is POLARTEC 100 fleece?
POLARTEC 100 is a lightweight fleece fabric known for its excellent warmth-to-weight ratio, breathability, and soft feel. It's suitable for base and mid-layers.
Can this fleece be worn in very cold weather?
As a mid-layer, it can contribute to warmth in cold weather when combined with a base layer and an insulated outer jacket. On its own, it is best suited for moderate to cool temperatures.
Is this jacket waterproof?
No, this is a fleece pullover and is not waterproof. It is designed for warmth and breathability and would need to be paired with a waterproof outer shell for protection against rain or snow.
How do I know if I've chosen the right size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by Jack Wolfskin for accurate measurements. The product description specifies this is a UK Size 12.
What does 'recycled polyester' mean?
It means the polyester material used to make the fleece has been derived from post-consumer plastic waste, such as PET bottles, reducing the need for virgin resources.
Can this be worn by men?
This specific product variant is designed for women. Jack Wolfskin may offer similar styles for men.
How should I store the fleece when not in use?
Store it folded in a dry place. Avoid storing it compressed for extended periods, which can reduce its loft and insulating properties over time.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels less warm after washing.
Ensure no fabric softener was used, as it can coat the fibers and reduce insulation. Wash with a mild detergent and consider a specialized fleece wash if the issue persists.
Pilling on the fleece surface.
Pilling is common with fleece over time. To minimize it, wash inside out and avoid abrasive contact with other items. You can use a fabric shaver to gently remove pills if they become noticeable.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently pull the fabric around the zipper to ensure it's not caught. You can apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or a wax-based lubricant to the zipper teeth to help it slide more smoothly.
