Full details

Featuring soft stretch fabric and protective design elements, it provides reliable warmth without adding bulk, though users should note that as a lightweight fleece, it is best utilized as part of a layering system rather than as a primary heavy-duty outer shell.

FAQs

Can I wear this as my only jacket?

The Ventura is designed as a midlayer. While it provides warmth, it is not windproof or waterproof and should be paired with an outer shell in harsh conditions.

Does the hood adjust?

The hood is a grown-on design, meaning it is integrated into the collar for a sleek fit without bulky adjustment toggles.

Is the material made from recycled components?

Yes, it is crafted from a durable blend including recycled polyester to reduce environmental impact.

How often does the antibacterial treatment need to be reapplied?

The treatment is integrated into the fabric and does not need to be reapplied; however, it will last longer if you avoid harsh chemicals or excessive heat during washing.

Will this fleece fit under a ski jacket?

Yes, its lightweight profile and stretch characteristics make it an excellent choice for layering under technical ski or snowboard shells.

Troubleshooting

Garment losing its softness or stretch over time

Avoid using fabric softeners during wash cycles and ensure the garment is air-dried rather than tumble-dried on high heat.

Visible lint or pilling on the fabric surface

Use a fabric shaver gently on the affected area, but ensure you wash the item inside out in the future to minimize friction.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-stretch material allows for excellent mobility
  • Effective antibacterial treatment manages odours during long trips
  • Built-in UPF 50+ protection for high-altitude activities
  • Lightweight construction perfect for layering
  • Reduced friction with SEAMSMART technology

Cons

  • Not intended for use as a standalone heavy waterproof outer layer
  • Requires careful laundering to maintain fleece backing
  • Lightweight material offers limited wind resistance

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because the Ventura is a technical fleece, proper care is essential to maintain its performance features. Always follow the garment's internal care label; generally, wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent to preserve the integrity of the stretch fibers and the antibacterial treatment. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can coat the fibers and interfere with moisture-wicking and odour-control capabilities. When storing, hang the garment to maintain the shape of the hood and prevent deep creasing. It is highly compatible with moisture-wicking base layers underneath and technical waterproof shells or insulated jackets on top.
