FAQs
What type of fleece is used in the Taunus Pullover?
The Taunus Pullover uses POLARTEC 100 fleece, known for its lightweight warmth and breathability. It is made from recycled polyester.
Is this fleece suitable for very cold weather?
As a lightweight fleece, it is best suited for moderate temperatures or as a mid-layer in colder conditions. For very cold weather, it should be combined with warmer layers and a waterproof/windproof outer shell.
How do I know if I have the correct size?
Refer to the brand's sizing chart for accurate measurements. The product description mentions this specific item is a UK size 8.
Can this fleece be worn by men?
This particular product is listed as a women's garment. Jack Wolfskin offers other fleece models that may be suitable for men.
What does 'bluesign certified' mean?
Bluesign certification indicates that the textile product has been manufactured with the least possible impact on people and the environment, following strict criteria for resource use, consumer safety, and emissions.
How should I care for the recycled polyester fleece?
Machine wash cold (30°C) with mild detergent and like colors. Tumble dry on low or hang dry. Do not bleach or iron. Avoid fabric softeners.
What are the primary benefits of the half-zip design?
The half-zip allows for quick ventilation to regulate body temperature during physical activity and can be zipped up for extra warmth around the neck when needed.
Troubleshooting
Fleece appears less warm after washing
Avoid using fabric softener, as it can coat the fleece fibers and reduce their loft and insulating properties. Wash with a mild detergent and tumble dry on low heat to restore loft.
Pilling on the fleece surface
Pilling is a natural characteristic of fleece over time. To minimize it, wash inside out, use a mild detergent, and avoid abrasive contact. Gently remove small pills with a fabric shaver if necessary.
Zipper is difficult to move
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. If it feels stiff, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.
