FAQs
What type of outdoor activities is this fleece best suited for?
The Montane Roco Fleece Pull On is ideal for hiking, trekking, camping, and general outdoor activities where warmth and comfort are needed. The shoulder overlays make it particularly suitable for activities involving backpacks.
How do I clean and care for my Roco Fleece?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Do not use fabric softener or bleach. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Do not iron.
Is this fleece waterproof?
No, the fleece itself is not waterproof. It is designed as a warm mid-layer. While it has a water-repellent overlay on the shoulders, it should be worn under a waterproof outer shell in wet conditions.
What is THERMO 200 Fleece Fabric?
THERMO 200 is a classic 200-weight fleece fabric with a brushed face and back velour. It is known for being warm, soft, and comfortable.
What is the purpose of the TACTEL overlays?
The TACTEL overlays on the shoulders are made of an abrasion-resistant fabric designed to protect the fleece from wear and tear caused by carrying a backpack.
Can I wear this as an outer layer?
While it can be worn as an outer layer in dry, cool conditions, it is primarily designed as a mid-layer. For protection against wind and rain, layering it under a shell jacket is recommended.
What are the benefits of the integrated chest pocket?
The integrated YKK NATULON zipped chest pocket provides a secure and convenient place to store small essentials like a phone, GPS device, or energy bars, keeping them accessible during your activity.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels rough after washing
Avoid using fabric softeners. Wash with a mild detergent on a gentle cycle. Ensure it is fully rinsed.
Reduced warmth over time
Ensure the fleece is clean, as dirt and oils can reduce its insulating properties. Avoid high heat drying which can compress fibers.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Gently pull the zipper tab while holding the fabric taut. If still stiff, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.
Seams feel irritating
The flatlock seams are designed for low profile comfort. Ensure the garment is the correct size and worn over a smooth base layer.
