Troubleshooting
Jacket feels less warm than expected.
Ensure the jacket is not damp, as moisture can reduce insulation. For colder conditions, consider wearing it as a layer over or under other insulating garments.
Pilling on the fleece material.
Pilling is a common characteristic of fleece. To minimize it, wash inside out and avoid high-heat drying or excessive abrasion.
Zipper is difficult to use.
Ensure the zipper is clear of fabric. Gently pull the zipper up and down. If it snags, try wiggling it slightly. Check for any damage to the teeth or pull tab.
