Crafted with a soft, velvety texture and a high collar, it excels at providing warmth during mountain hikes, ski trips, or casual evenings outdoors, though users should note it is not a waterproof outer shell and may require an additional jacket in heavy rain.

FAQs
Is this fleece windproof?
No, the Daybreaker is designed for breathability. It is best used as a midlayer under a windproof or waterproof outer shell.
Can I wear this as a standalone jacket?
Yes, it functions well as a standalone piece in cool, dry conditions or during moderate activity.
Does the material contain recycled content?
Yes, it is a bluesign approved product made with recycled materials.
Is the fit true to size?
The garment is designed as a classic athletic fit. If you prefer a loose fit for heavy layering, you may consider sizing up.
How do I protect my chin from the zipper?
The fleece features a built-in chin guard flap at the top of the zipper to prevent direct contact between the metal hardware and your skin.
Can I iron this fleece?
It is not recommended to iron fleece as the heat can melt or damage the synthetic fibers.
Troubleshooting
Fabric starts to pill after multiple washes
Wash inside-out and avoid mixing with abrasive garments like denim or clothes with metal zippers to minimize friction.
Zipper feels stiff or hard to operate
Check for trapped fabric in the track. If it persists, run a pencil tip along the teeth to provide dry lubrication.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this garment is a pullover, ensure you have appropriate baselayers beneath it if you are heading into cold climates. To maintain the integrity of the soft fleece fabric, always wash in cold water using a gentle cycle. Avoid using heavy detergents or fabric softeners, as these can clog the fleece fibers and reduce breathability. Hang drying is recommended to prevent material shrinkage and to keep the velvety texture smooth over time. If a machine dryer must be used, select the lowest heat setting.
