Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this is a simple, high-performance fleece, there is no setup required; simply zip it up to suit your temperature needs. For compatibility, the jacket is designed to pair seamlessly with other Columbia outer shells or standard parkas. To maintain the integrity of the fleece:
- Machine wash in cold water on a gentle cycle.
- Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can coat the fibers and reduce moisture-wicking efficiency.
- Tumble dry on a low setting or hang to air dry to prevent material pilling over time.
