Is this jumper waterproof?

What is the advantage of the half-zip design?

Troubleshooting

Fleece pilling after washing

Wash the jumper inside out on a gentle cycle. Avoid using fabric softener, as it can weaken fleece fibers. Air dry or tumble dry on low heat.

Jumper feels less warm than expected

Ensure the fleece is clean, as dirt and oils can reduce its insulating properties. Check for any damage or thinning areas in the fabric.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it persists, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.
