FAQs

Is the Daybreaker Half-Zip waterproof?

No, it is made of fleece and is not designed to repel rain or snow. It is intended to be used as an insulating layer under a waterproof shell.

Can this be worn against the skin?

Yes, the high-quality microfleece is soft and comfortable, making it suitable for direct skin contact.

Does it have pockets?

No, the Daybreaker Half-Zip is a minimalist design and does not feature pockets.

Is this suitable for high-intensity activities?

Yes, the breathability and half-zip ventilation make it a great choice for activities like cross-country skiing or trail running.

How should I choose the right size?

The garment is sized for standard layering. If you plan to wear a thick base layer underneath, consider your usual size for a comfortable, non-restrictive fit.

Troubleshooting

Fabric piling after heavy use

Use a fabric shaver or lint remover to gently remove surface fuzz, and ensure you are washing the garment inside out.

Zipper feels stiff

Ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth and gently clean the zipper track with a soft brush to remove any grit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This garment requires no setup—simply pull it on as a base or mid-layer. It is highly compatible with standard hard-shell jackets, parkas, or vests. To maintain the integrity of the microfleece, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a warm, gentle cycle.
  2. Detergent: Use a mild detergent; avoid using fabric softeners as they can degrade the moisture-wicking properties of the fleece.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry to preserve the loft of the fabric and prevent unnecessary wear.
  4. Storage: Store in a dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight.
