FAQs

Is the Osito Jacket windproof?

No, the high-pile fleece is designed for warmth and breathability rather than windproofing. It is best used as a mid-layer beneath a windproof shell in windy conditions.

Can this jacket be used as a base layer?

It is intended as a mid-layer or outer layer. Because of the high-pile texture, it is most comfortable when worn over a base layer shirt.

How should I clean the jacket?

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with like colors. Avoid bleach and softeners. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry.

Does it have pockets?

Yes, standard Osito models typically feature secure zippered hand pockets for keeping essentials accessible.

What does the 'Osito' name signify?

The name Osito is Spanish for 'little bear,' referencing the soft, teddy-bear-like texture of the high-pile fleece.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels less fluffy after several washes.

Avoid fabric softeners and high-heat drying, which damage the fibers. Use a clean, soft-bristled brush to gently restore the nap of the fleece.

Zipper feels stiff or hard to operate.

Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track. If it remains stiff, apply a small amount of graphite or a dedicated zipper lubricant to the teeth.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptionally soft and comfortable high-pile fabric
  • Effective thermal insulation for cold weather
  • Full-zip design allows for easy temperature management
  • Versatile style suitable for both trails and casual urban wear

Cons

  • High-pile fleece may pick up burrs or debris when hiking in dense brush
  • Requires careful washing to maintain the loft of the fleece
  • Not windproof on its own and may require an outer shell in gusty conditions

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This jacket is a straightforward pull-on garment. To maintain the integrity of the high-pile fleece, follow these care instructions: machine wash the garment in cold water on a gentle cycle. Use a mild detergent and avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as these can flatten the pile and reduce the jacket's insulating properties. For drying, it is recommended to tumble dry on low heat or air dry to prevent the synthetic fibers from matting. Always check the internal garment tag for specific care instructions provided by the manufacturer. If the jacket arrives slightly compressed, shaking it out will help restore the fluffiness of the fleece fibers.
