Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this is a technical garment, proper maintenance is vital for longevity:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C or lower. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can strip the moisture-wicking and pile-softness properties of the fleece.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible. Do not tumble dry at high heat, as the synthetic fibers can melt or matte, ruining the signature 'borg' texture.
- Compatibility: The longline cut is best suited for slim-fit base layers. Avoid bulky sweaters underneath, as the relaxed drop-shoulder cut is designed to fit comfortably over lighter clothing.
