Berghaus Fleece Vest - Black - XXXL

Polartec Classic Fleece is a high-quality fleece fabric known for its softness, durability, excellent warmth-to-weight ratio, and breathability. It's designed to provide comfort and warmth without being heavy.

The vest itself is not waterproof. While the fleece offers some minimal water resistance, it is designed as a mid-layer. For protection against rain, it should be worn under a waterproof and windproof outer jacket, preferably a Berghaus Interactive compatible jacket.

Locate the zippers on the front of the vest and the corresponding zippers inside the compatible Berghaus jacket. Align them and zip them together. Ensure the jacket is a Berghaus Interactive model designed for this feature.

As a mid-layer, it provides good insulation. For very cold weather, it should be combined with a warm base layer and a protective outer shell. On its own, it may not be sufficient for extreme cold.

This specific product is listed in XXXL size. The Berghaus Prism Polartec Fleece Vest is available in a range of sizes, including XS, S, M, L, XL, and XXL, across different product listings.

To maintain softness, wash the vest inside out with a mild detergent on a cool or warm (40°C) cycle, and tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Avoid using fabric softener or bleach, as these can degrade the fleece fibers over time.

Gently pull the zipper while applying light pressure. Try rubbing a graphite pencil lead on the zipper teeth to lubricate them. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Consider layering with a thinner base layer underneath. The vest is designed to be relatively lightweight; excessive bulk might indicate an improper fit or an overly thick base layer.

Pilling is a common characteristic of fleece over time. To minimize it, wash the vest inside out on a gentle cycle and avoid abrasive contact. For minor pilling, a fabric shaver can be used carefully.
