FAQs

What is the primary material of this fleece?

The primary material is plush sherpa pile fleece, made from 100% polyamide.

Is this fleece waterproof?

The fleece features a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish that helps repel water, but it is not fully waterproof. It is designed for water resistance, not submersion.

How should I determine my size?

Refer to the brand's general sizing chart for women's apparel. The fit is described as relaxed and cropped.

Can I wear this in very cold weather?

This fleece provides lightweight warmth and is excellent for layering. For very cold weather, it's best used as a mid-layer over a warmer base layer.

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

It means the water-repellent DWR finish used on this garment does not contain PFAS (Per- and Polyfluorinated Substances), which are often referred to as 'forever chemicals' and can be harmful to the environment. This product uses an alternative, more environmentally friendly treatment.

How do I adjust the hem?

The hem features a drawcord that you can pull to tighten and adjust the fit, helping to seal out wind and cold.

What are the washing instructions?

Machine wash cold with like colors, use non-chlorine bleach if needed, tumble dry on low, and do not iron or dry clean.

Troubleshooting

Fleece appears matted or less soft after washing.

Ensure you are using the recommended washing and drying settings. Avoid high heat. Consider a gentle tumble dry on low heat with dryer balls to help restore fluffiness.

Zipper on chest pocket is sticking.

Gently try to move the zipper up and down. You can apply a small amount of graphite from a pencil tip or a bit of clear lip balm to the zipper teeth to help it glide more smoothly.

Drawcord is difficult to adjust.

Check for any knots or snags in the drawcord. Ensure the channel it runs through is clear of debris. Gently work the cord back and forth.
