FAQs
What type of weather is this hoodie best suited for?
This hoodie is ideal for cool to moderately cold weather, functioning well as a mid-layer. It's breathable for active use but may require additional layers for very cold or harsh conditions.
How should I determine my size?
Refer to the brand's sizing chart for specific measurements. Consider if you prefer a snug fit or a looser fit for layering when choosing your size.
Can the hood be completely removed?
No, the hood is integrated into the design and cannot be removed.
Is the zipped pocket waterproof?
The description indicates the pocket is for securing essentials and valuables, but it does not specify if it is waterproof. It is advisable to protect sensitive electronics from heavy rain.
How warm is the 275gsm fleece?
The 275gsm weight is considered a medium-weight fleece, providing good warmth for its weight. It's designed to be cosy and insulating without being overly heavy.
Can I wear this as an outer layer in light rain?
While the fleece offers some protection, it is not designed to be a waterproof outer layer. For rain, it's best used under a waterproof jacket.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels less soft after washing
Avoid fabric softeners. Consider a gentle tumble dry on low heat or air drying to help restore softness.
Thumb-loops feel restrictive
Ensure you are using the thumb-loops correctly; they are designed for active use. If they cause discomfort, simply do not use them.
Zipper is difficult to move
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. A small amount of silicone-based lubricant can help if it's stiff.
