FAQs

What type of weather is this jacket best suited for?

The Benton Springs Full Zip Fleece Jacket is ideal for mild to cool weather, typically spring, autumn, or cooler summer evenings. It functions well as a standalone piece in moderate temperatures or as a mid-layer in colder conditions.

Is this jacket waterproof?

No, this jacket is made of fleece and is not waterproof. It offers warmth and some resistance to light wind, but it will get wet in rain or snow.

How do I adjust the fit of the jacket?

The jacket features an interior drawcord at the hem. You can pull this cord to tighten the bottom opening, creating a more fitted silhouette and helping to seal out cold air.

Can I put this jacket in the dryer?

Yes, you can tumble dry the jacket on a low heat setting. It's recommended to remove it promptly after drying to minimize potential shrinkage or damage.

What are the pocket features?

The jacket has two zippered hand pockets, providing secure storage for small essentials like keys, a phone, or a wallet, and keeping your hands warm.

What material is the jacket made of?

The jacket is made from polyester fleece, which provides soft, insulating warmth.

What does 'Modern Classic Fit' mean?

This fit is designed to be comfortable and versatile, offering enough room for layering without being overly baggy. It aims for a balanced silhouette that is neither too tight nor too loose.

Troubleshooting

Fleece pilling after a few washes

This is common with fleece. Reduce washing frequency if possible, and wash in cold water on a gentle cycle. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Avoid high friction activities while wearing.

Jacket feels too loose

Utilize the interior drawcord at the hem to cinch the jacket for a more snug fit and to block drafts.

Zipper is sticking or difficult to move

Ensure the fabric around the zipper is clear. Gently pull the zipper up and down while applying a small amount of graphite pencil lead or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.

Jacket is not warm enough for very cold weather

Layer the fleece jacket over a thermal base layer and/or under a windproof or waterproof outer shell for increased warmth and protection from the elements.
