FAQs
What is THERMO 200 fleece?
THERMO 200 refers to the weight and density of the fleece fabric, indicating it's a substantial 200-weight fleece that provides good insulation and warmth.
Can this fleece be used as a standalone jacket?
Yes, in mild, dry conditions it can function as a standalone jacket. However, for windy or wet weather, it is best used as a mid-layer beneath a protective outer shell.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to Montane's sizing chart for specific measurements. The fleece is designed with a regular fit, but consider if you prefer a looser or tighter fit for layering when selecting your size.
Is the recycled content significant?
The YKK NATULON VISLON front quarter zip and YKK NATULON zipped chest pocket are made using recycled materials, contributing to a more sustainable product.
What activities is this fleece best suited for?
It's ideal for hiking, trekking, climbing, camping, and general outdoor use in cooler weather where warmth and comfort are priorities.
How durable is the TACTEL fabric?
TACTEL is a polyamide fiber known for its softness, durability, and quick-drying properties. It provides a comfortable feel while withstanding regular wear.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels less warm after washing
Ensure you are not using fabric softener, which can coat the fibers. Wash with a technical fleece wash and consider a re-waterproofing treatment if effectiveness has significantly diminished.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Clean the zipper teeth with a brush to remove any dirt or debris. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.
Pilling on the fleece surface
Pilling is a common occurrence with fleece. You can gently remove pills with a fabric shaver or a fine-toothed comb. Avoid excessive abrasion during wear and washing.
Chest pocket zipper snagging
Check for any threads or fabric caught in the zipper. Gently pull the fabric away from the zipper teeth. If the zipper track is damaged, it may require professional repair.

Care Instructions:
