adidas Essentials Fleece 3-Stripes Full-Zip Hoodie - Green - Striped

The hoodie is made from a blend of 78% cotton and 22% polyester, providing a comfortable and durable fabric.

While it has an athletic-inspired design, this hoodie is primarily designed for comfort and casual wear, such as post-gym cool-downs or relaxation. It is not optimized for high-intensity athletic performance.

Machine wash your hoodie at `40 degrees Celsius` (`104 degrees Fahrenheit`). It is recommended to air dry or tumble dry on a low setting to best preserve the fabric and prevent shrinkage.

Yes, it features two lined on-seam pockets at the sides, perfect for storing small essentials or keeping your hands warm.

Brushed lining refers to a process where the interior fabric fibers are brushed to create a soft, fleecy texture, significantly enhancing comfort and warmth against the skin.

The fleece material with a brushed lining provides warmth for mild to cool conditions. For very cold weather, it is best used as a comfortable mid-layer under a heavier, insulated jacket.

Adidas apparel generally adheres to standard sizing. For the best fit, refer to the adidas size guide, if available, or choose your usual size for hoodies.

Ensure you are washing at the recommended 40 degrees Celsius. Avoid using excessive detergent or harsh chemicals. Consider using a fabric softener during the rinse cycle, and air dry if possible to maintain softness.

Pilling can occur with friction. To minimize, wash the hoodie inside out. Consider air drying or tumble drying on low. A fabric shaver can be used carefully to remove existing pills.

Ensure the zipper teeth are clean from any debris. You can try rubbing a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a zipper lubricant along the teeth to help it glide smoothly.

While the cotton blend is pre-shrunk to some extent, always adhere to the `40 degrees Celsius` wash temperature. Avoid high heat during machine drying, as this is the most common cause of shrinkage in cotton-blend garments. Air drying is the safest method.
