FAQs

What does 'PFAS-free' mean for this fleece?

PFAS-free means the water-repellent treatment used on this garment does not contain Per- and Polyfluorinated Substances, which are often called 'forever chemicals' and can be harmful to the environment. This product uses an alternative DWR finish.

How should I care for the printed floral pattern?

To preserve the vibrancy of the floral print, follow the standard care instructions: machine wash cold with like colors, use non-chlorine bleach only if needed, and tumble dry on low heat. Avoid ironing directly on the print.

Is this fleece warm enough for winter?

This fleece is designed for moderate warmth and is suitable for cooler weather. For very cold winter conditions, it is recommended to layer it over warmer base layers or wear it under a heavier winter coat.

What is the fit of this jacket?

The jacket features a cropped fit, meaning it is shorter in length than a standard jacket. It is designed to be stylish and comfortable for layering.

Can I adjust the neckline warmth?

Yes, the half-snap closure at the neck allows you to adjust the opening for ventilation or to fasten it higher for more warmth around your neck.

What material is the fleece made from?

The fleece is made from 100% polyamide, which is known for its durability and warmth.

Troubleshooting

Fleece appears matted or less fluffy after washing.

Ensure you are using a gentle wash cycle and appropriate detergent. Avoid high heat during drying; tumble dry on low or air dry. Gently brush the fleece with a soft brush after drying to restore loft.

Water repellency seems reduced.

The DWR finish can wear off over time. Reapply a DWR treatment specifically designed for outdoor apparel after washing and drying, following the product's instructions.

Snagged threads or pulls in the fleece.

Carefully trim any snagged threads with sharp scissors, being cautious not to cut into the main fabric. Avoid wearing the garment near rough surfaces that could cause snags.
