FAQs
What is the primary material of this fleece?
The Columbia Helvetia II Half Snap Fleece is constructed from 100% polyester sherpa pile.
Is this fleece suitable for very cold weather?

How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to Columbia's official size chart. Consider the model's height and size worn (6'0.5" wearing a medium) as a reference, and check measurements for chest, waist, and sleeve length.
Can the zippered chest pocket fit a smartphone?
The zippered chest pocket is designed for small essentials. Larger smartphones may fit, but it's best to check the pocket dimensions or test with your specific device.
What is the 'Icons' collection?
Columbia's Icons collection features classic designs that are timeless and represent the brand's heritage in outdoor apparel.
Does this fleece have a hood?
No, the Helvetia II Half Snap Fleece features a stand-up collar but does not have a hood.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels stiff after washing
Ensure you used a mild detergent and avoided fabric softeners, which can degrade sherpa material. Tumble drying on low heat with dryer balls can help restore softness.
Zipper is difficult to move
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently pull the fabric away. Lubricate the zipper track with a graphite pencil tip or a small amount of wax.
Pilling or matting of the sherpa material
This can occur with excessive friction or heat. Avoid harsh washing cycles and high heat drying. Consider a gentler wash cycle and air drying.
