Extended Product Information

FAQs

What material is this fleece made of?

The fleece is made from 100% polyamide.

Is this fleece waterproof or water-resistant?

This fleece features a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish, which makes it water-resistant, meaning it can repel light rain or snow. It is not fully waterproof.

What does PFAS-free mean for this product?

PFAS-free means the water-repellent treatment used on this garment does not contain Per- and Polyfluorinated Substances, also known as 'forever chemicals', which are considered harmful to the environment.

How should I wash this fleece?

Machine wash cold with like colors, use non-chlorine bleach only if needed, and tumble dry on low. Avoid ironing and dry cleaning. Do not use fabric softeners.

What is the fit of this fleece?

The fleece has a relaxed, cropped fit.

Can this fleece be worn in very cold weather?

While the sherpa fleece provides good warmth, it is lightweight. For very cold conditions, it is best used as a mid-layer under a more protective outer shell.

Does it have pockets for hands?

This particular model features a zippered chest pocket for securing valuables, but it does not have handwarmer pockets.

Troubleshooting

Fleece appears less water-repellent over time.

This may indicate the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish needs refreshing. Consider using a DWR re-treatment spray specifically designed for outdoor apparel, following the product's instructions carefully. Ensure you have followed the correct washing and drying procedures.

Zipper on chest pocket is stiff or difficult to use.

Gently pull the zipper tab up and down while applying slight pressure. If it remains stiff, a small amount of graphite from a pencil tip rubbed on the zipper teeth can help lubricate it. Avoid forcing the zipper.

Drawcord at the hem is difficult to adjust.

Ensure the drawcord is not twisted. If it feels stuck, check for any obstructions within the casing. Gently manipulate the cord and toggle to loosen it.

Fabric pilling or loss of softness.

Avoid excessive heat during washing and drying. Tumble dry on low heat and remove promptly. Do not iron. Using a fabric comb specifically for fleece can sometimes help manage minor pilling.
