FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
The Glacier Fleece 1/4 Zip Jacket is designed as a mid-layer, providing warmth in cool to moderate conditions. For very cold weather, it is recommended to layer it under a warmer insulated jacket or a waterproof and windproof outer shell.
What does 'Circular Design' mean for this product?
The Circular Design initiative focuses on minimizing waste and regenerating natural systems. This product is made from recycled materials, contributing to a more sustainable lifecycle and reducing environmental impact.
How do I ensure I choose the right size?
The jacket has a standard fit. It is recommended to consult the brand's sizing chart for accurate measurements. Since this is a layering piece, consider if you prefer a snugger or looser fit when selecting your size.
Can this jacket be used for strenuous activity?
Yes, the fleece material is breathable and the quarter-zip allows for ventilation, making it suitable for activities like hiking. For high-intensity activities, it's best paired with moisture-wicking base layers.
What are the specific recycled materials used?

Is this jacket waterproof?

Troubleshooting
Fleece feels stiff after washing.
Avoid using fabric softener. If stiffness persists, try a gentle tumble dry on low heat.
Zipper is difficult to move.
Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to ease the zipper up and down. A small amount of lubricant (like graphite from a pencil) on the teeth can help.
Jacket loses its warmth.
Fleece can lose loft over time. Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can mat down the fibers. Follow care instructions to preserve the fleece's insulating properties.
