FAQs
What type of fleece is used?
The vest is crafted from cozy 250g MTR filament fleece, known for its warmth and soft texture.
Is this vest suitable for very cold weather?
The vest provides excellent core warmth and is ideal as a mid-layer. For very cold conditions, it should be worn under a heavier, insulated outer layer.
How many pockets does the vest have?
The vest features two zippered side pockets to keep your hands warm and secure your belongings.
Can I wear this vest over a thick sweater?
While it can be layered, for optimal comfort and mobility, it's best layered over thinner shirts or fleeces. Wearing it over a very thick sweater might restrict movement.
What is the warranty for this product?

Is the vest machine washable?
Yes, the vest is machine washable. Follow the care instructions: wash cold with like colors, use non-chlorine bleach if needed, and tumble dry low.
Troubleshooting
Fleece pilling after washing
Pilling is a common characteristic of fleece. To minimize it, wash the vest inside out on a gentle cycle with cold water and tumble dry on low heat. Avoid harsh detergents and excessive rubbing.
Zipper sticking
Gently pull the fabric away from the zipper teeth. If it continues to stick, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a bit of wax to the zipper teeth and run the zipper up and down several times.
Vest feels too tight or too loose
Refer to the Columbia sizing chart for accurate measurements before purchasing. If the fit is not as expected, consider exchanging for a different size. The full zip allows for some adjustability in fit.
