Utilizing Polartec Power Stretch Pro fabric, it excels at moisture management and provides a warm, highly breathable layer for varied climates; however, users should note that the fabric is designed as a mid-layer rather than a standalone heavy-duty waterproof shell.

FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
No, the jacket is made of performance fleece designed for breathability and warmth, not as a waterproof outer layer.
Can I wear this as a winter coat?
It serves as an excellent mid-layer in winter conditions, but it should be paired with a windproof or waterproof outer shell in freezing temperatures.
How does the sizing run?
The jacket follows a technical, slim-fit design to maximize wicking efficiency. If you prefer a loose fit for layering, consider sizing up.
Is the fabric machine washable?
Yes, it can be machine washed at 30°C. Always skip the fabric softener to protect the moisture-wicking treatment.
Can I use this for rock climbing?
Yes, the four-way stretch and athletic cut make it highly suitable for climbing and other activities requiring a full range of motion.
Troubleshooting
Fabric appears to pill slightly after heavy use
Pilling is a common characteristic of high-stretch performance fleece. Use a fabric shaver gently to remove excess fibers.
Jacket feels damp after heavy sweating
Ensure you are layering with a moisture-wicking base layer. Avoid cotton, which traps moisture against the skin.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this is a technical garment, proper care is essential to maintain the elasticity and wicking performance of the Polartec fabric.
- Washing: Machine wash at 30°C using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can clog the pores of the fabric and inhibit its moisture-wicking properties.
- Drying: Line dry is recommended to maintain the integrity of the synthetic fibers. Do not bleach or iron.
- Compatibility: The slim cut works best over a technical base layer. Avoid wearing bulky wool sweaters underneath, as the jacket is designed for a streamlined, athletic fit.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation over time.
