FAQs
What type of activities is this fleece best suited for?
The Montane Roco Fleece Pull On is ideal for outdoor activities such as hiking, trekking, camping, and general adventuring in cool to cold weather. It also serves as a comfortable mid-layer for colder conditions.
How does the TACTEL overlay provide protection?
The TACTEL overlay panels on the shoulders are made from an abrasion-resistant fabric designed to withstand wear and tear from backpack straps, thereby increasing the durability of the fleece in high-friction areas.
Is the fleece waterproof?
The fleece features a water-repellent overlay on certain areas, which helps shed light rain or snow. However, it is not fully waterproof and should be worn with a waterproof outer shell in heavy or prolonged precipitation.
Can I wear this as my primary outer layer?
Yes, in dry, cool to mild conditions, it can function as an effective outer layer. For windy or wet conditions, it is best used as a mid-layer underneath a windproof or waterproof jacket.
What are the washing instructions for the fleece?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C with a mild detergent. Do not use fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Do not iron.
How do I clean the integrated chest pocket?
The pocket can be cleaned by gently wiping the interior with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Ensure it is fully dry before use. Do not machine wash the pocket separately.
What is the difference between THERMO 200 and other fleece weights?
THERMO 200 is a 200-weight fleece, which is considered a standard mid-weight fleece. It offers a good balance of warmth and breathability for versatile use in various outdoor conditions, being warmer than lighter weights but less bulky than heavier ones.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels less warm than expected.
Ensure the fleece is clean. Dirt and oils can reduce the insulating properties. Check for any damage to the fabric or seams. Ensure it's layered correctly with appropriate base and outer layers for the conditions.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.
Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it remains stiff, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper.
Seams feel uncomfortable or cause chafing.
Verify you are wearing the correct size. The flatlock seams are designed for comfort, but if chafing occurs, ensure the garment is properly positioned and consider wearing a smooth base layer underneath.
Water-repellent overlay is not working effectively.
The water-repellent treatment is a surface finish and can wear off over time. Consider re-applying a suitable water-repellent treatment designed for outdoor apparel after washing and drying according to care instructions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Compatibility:

Care:
To maintain the fleece's performance and longevity:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent at 30°C (86°F).
