FAQs
Is this fleece waterproof?
No, this is a midweight polyester fleece and is not waterproof. It should be worn under a shell in rainy conditions.
How should I clean my Helvellyn fleece?
Wash in a machine on a gentle cycle. Do not use fabric softener, as this affects the wicking ability of the material.
Does this fleece stretch?
The material has inherent flexibility, and the stretch-bound cuffs and hem ensure it moves with your body during active use.
Can I wear this under a heavy winter coat?
Yes, the flatlock seams are designed specifically to minimize bulk and prevent chafing when used as a midlayer.
Is the fabric prone to shrinking?
No, the garment is constructed from specialized polyester that is engineered to resist shrinking and maintain its shape.
Troubleshooting
Visible lint or pilling on surface
While the fabric is resistant to pilling, use a fabric shaver gently if minor friction occurs from heavy backpack straps.
Zip feels stiff or sticks
Ensure no fabric is caught in the Vislon track and clean the teeth with a soft brush to remove any accumulated trail dust.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your fleece, follow these care guidelines: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent and avoid using fabric softeners, as these can compromise the moisture-wicking properties of the polyester. Air drying is recommended to maintain the fabric's integrity and prevent the stretch-binding from losing its elasticity. For layering, this fleece is fully compatible with most standard waterproof jackets, and the flatlock construction ensures no irritation when combined with technical base layers.
