FAQs

Is this fleece windproof?

No, the Daybreaker is designed for breathability. You should pair it with a windproof shell if you are in windy conditions.

Can I wear this as a base layer?

It is designed primarily as a mid-layer. It will perform best over a synthetic or wool base layer.

What does bluesign certified mean?

It means the product was manufactured using sustainable methods with the goal of reducing environmental impact throughout the supply chain.

How should I store this garment?

Hang it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the color and fabric quality.

Does it have pockets?

This specific half-zip model does not feature pockets, maintaining a clean and low-profile design.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels less warm than when new

Wash the garment to remove oils and dirt that can compress the fleece fibers, then fluff in a low-heat dryer for a few minutes if the label permits.

Static electricity buildup

Increase humidity in your environment or use a small amount of specialized technical garment laundry additive if recommended by the manufacturer.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptionally lightweight and packable for travel or trekking
  • High-quality Polartec fabric offers consistent thermal regulation
  • Environmentally conscious production via recycled materials
  • Breathable construction prevents overheating during active use

Cons

  • Not windproof, requiring an additional shell in exposed conditions
  • Lack of zippered pockets limits secure storage for small items
  • Slimmer fit may feel restrictive if worn over heavy base layers

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This garment requires no special setup. To maintain the integrity of the Polartec microfleece, it is recommended to machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can clog the pores of the fleece and reduce its breathability. For drying, air drying is the best way to preserve the shape and longevity of the material. When layering, ensure your outer shell has enough room to accommodate the fleece without restricting your range of motion.
