Product Information

Full details

The Ridgeline Mens Ballistic Fleece Hoodie is designed for adult males seeking a functional and comfortable mid-layer for outdoor activities. Its key benefit is providing warmth, breathability, and security for essentials in chilly conditions. A potential caveat is that its primary design is for layering, not as a standalone waterproof outer shell. This hoodie is crafted from cosy Southern Star 275gsm fleece, featuring a 1/4 zip, a double-thickness hood with adjustable ties, a kangaroo pocket, and a secure zipped pocket for valuables.

FAQs

What type of fleece is used in this hoodie?

The hoodie is crafted from Ridgeline's Southern Star 275gsm fleece, known for being lightweight, breathable, warm, and cosy.

Is this hoodie waterproof?

No, the hoodie is made from fleece and is not waterproof. It is designed as a warm, breathable mid-layer.

How should I clean the hoodie?

It is recommended to machine wash cold with like colours, and tumble dry low or hang dry. Avoid bleach, ironing, and dry cleaning.

What are the thumb loops for?

The thumb loops are integrated into the cuffs to keep the sleeves securely in place when you are reaching or moving, helping to keep your wrists and hands warm.

Can I wear this as an outer layer?

While it offers warmth, it is best suited as a mid-layer under a more protective outer shell in adverse weather conditions, as it is not windproof or waterproof.

What are the main pockets for?

There is a large front kangaroo pocket for hand warming or storing small items, and a separate zipped pocket for safely storing valuables like keys or a phone.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels less soft after washing.

Avoid using fabric softeners, which can coat fleece fibers. Gentle washing and air drying can help preserve softness.

Thumb loops feel restrictive.

Ensure you are using the thumb loops correctly; they are designed for a snug fit to keep sleeves down. If they cause discomfort, they can be ignored and sleeves worn without using them.

Zipper is stiff.

Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. If the issue persists, check for any fabric caught in the zipper. A small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or wax can sometimes help lubricate the zipper teeth.
