PFAS-free means the water-repellent (DWR) finish on this garment does not contain Per- and Polyfluorinated Substances, often referred to as 'forever chemicals'. This makes the product more environmentally friendly.
This fleece is designed for a regular fit. Please refer to Columbia's general sizing chart for women's apparel, paying attention to measurements for chest and length.
The DWR finish provides water repellency for light rain or snow. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, a more robust waterproof outer shell would be recommended.
The half snap design offers versatility, allowing you to adjust the neckline for ventilation when you're warm or to cinch it up for more warmth when it's cold.
This fleece provides good warmth for cool to moderately cold conditions. For extreme cold, it would be best used as a mid-layer over insulating base layers.
The effectiveness of the DWR finish can vary depending on wear and washing. It typically lasts for a number of washes, after which it can be reapplied using specific treatment products.
Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can mat the fleece fibers. Try a gentle tumble dry on low heat to restore softness.
The DWR finish may wear off over time. Consider a wash-in or spray-on re-proofer specifically designed for outdoor apparel to restore water repellency.
Be cautious of rough surfaces or carrying heavy bags that could snag the fabric. Gentle washing and avoiding abrasive materials can minimize pilling.
