FAQs
What is the main purpose of this fleece jacket?
The jacket is designed to provide warmth as a standalone layer or to be zipped into a compatible shell jacket as an insulating mid-layer.
What material is the jacket made from?
The jacket is made from 100% Polyester fleece fabric, weighing 320 g/m².
Can this jacket be worn in heavy rain?
This fleece jacket provides warmth but is not waterproof. For rain protection, it is best used as a layer under a waterproof shell jacket.
How do I zip this jacket into a shell jacket?
The jacket features a zip-in system. Align the zipper on the fleece jacket with the corresponding zipper on the compatible shell jacket and zip them together. Ensure both garments are designed to be compatible.
Are the hand pockets waterproof?
The hand pockets have YKK® zippers for secure closure, but the pockets themselves are not waterproof. Items stored inside may get wet in heavy rain.
What is the difference between this and a regular fleece?
This jacket is specifically designed with a 'Zip In' system to integrate with certain outer shells, offering enhanced modularity for different weather conditions compared to a standard fleece.
How should I wash this jacket to preserve the fleece?
Machine wash in lukewarm water (40°C), do not bleach, and tumble dry on low heat. Avoid ironing and dry cleaning to maintain the fleece's texture and warmth.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is difficult to operate
Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to pull the fabric away while operating the zipper. If the zipper is still stiff, a small amount of graphite from a pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant can be applied to the teeth.
Fleece material is pilling
Pilling can occur with friction. Ensure you are washing the jacket according to the care instructions, avoiding harsh detergents and excessive agitation. Tumble drying on low heat can sometimes help reduce pilling.
Jacket feels less warm after washing
Ensure the fleece is not overly compressed during washing. Check that tumble drying is set to low heat to avoid melting or damaging the fibers, which can reduce insulation properties. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can sometimes coat fleece fibers and reduce their loft.
