Product Information
Full details
The Ridgeline Ballistic Fleece Hoodie is a versatile, high-performance garment designed for men who require reliable warmth during outdoor work, hiking, or casual daily activities in cooler climates. Featuring a robust fleece construction, a double-thickness hood, and practical storage options, this hoodie provides exceptional insulation and functionality. While its regular fit is ideal for layering, potential users should note that the heavier weight of the fleece means it is best suited for cold weather rather than high-intensity, warm-weather activities.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this hoodie waterproof?
No, it is made of fleece which is designed for warmth rather than water resistance. It should be worn under a waterproof shell during rainy conditions.
Can I wear this for high-intensity sports?
While the fleece is durable, it is quite warm. You may find it too insulating for high-exertion sports, but it is excellent for low-to-moderate activity in the cold.
How do I ensure the best fit?
The hoodie is designed as a regular fit. You should select your standard size, keeping in mind that the material is intended to accommodate layers underneath.
Are the thumb loops optional to use?
Yes, you can simply slide your hands out of the thumb loops to wear the sleeves normally without any discomfort.
What is the purpose of the 1/4 zip?
The 1/4 zip serves as a ventilation tool. You can zip it up to trap heat around your neck or unzip it to release excess heat during periods of activity.
Troubleshooting
Fleece fabric is shedding lint
Wash the garment inside out in a mesh laundry bag and avoid washing it with abrasive clothing items like denim.
Zipper is sticking or stiff
Rub a small amount of graphite from a pencil tip or a dedicated silicone zipper lubricant along the teeth to restore smooth movement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the longevity of your fleece, machine wash it in cool water on a gentle cycle. Avoid using heavy detergents or fabric softeners, as these can compromise the moisture-wicking properties of the synthetic fibers. Always air dry the garment away from direct heat sources to prevent the fleece from matting or losing its loft. Regarding compatibility, the regular fit is designed to be worn over standard base layers. If you plan to layer this underneath a heavy waterproof jacket, ensure your outer shell has enough volume to accommodate the thickness of the fleece without restricting your range of motion.
