Setup, Compatibility & Care
This garment requires no complex setup; simply wear it over a base layer for maximum thermal efficiency or directly against the skin. It is highly compatible with other Columbia outdoor apparel and serves as an excellent mid-layer beneath a heavier shell if precipitation is expected. To maintain the integrity of the fleece and the woven overlay, follow these care steps:
- Machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle with like colors.
- Use a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, which can degrade the fleece fibers.
- Tumble dry on a low setting or hang dry to preserve the shape and elasticity of the cuffs and hem.
- Do not iron the woven overlay or the fleece directly.
