FAQs

What is POLARTEC 100 fleece?

POLARTEC 100 is a lightweight fleece fabric known for its excellent warmth-to-weight ratio and breathability. It's often made from recycled materials, contributing to its eco-friendly profile.

Can this fleece be worn as an outer layer?

Yes, it can be worn as an outer layer in mild to cool conditions. For colder weather or wind protection, it functions best as a mid-layer under a shell jacket.

How do I adjust the temperature with the half-zip?

You can open the half-zip further to increase ventilation and cool down, or zip it up closer to your neck for added warmth and to trap heat.

Is this fleece suitable for very cold winter conditions?

While it provides warmth, it's considered a lightweight fleece. For very cold winter conditions, it's recommended to use it as part of a layering system with a warmer mid-layer or an insulated outer jacket.

What does 'recycled polyester' mean?

Recycled polyester means the fabric is made from post-consumer plastic waste (like PET bottles) that has been processed and spun into new polyester fibers, reducing the need for virgin petroleum-based resources.

How should I store the fleece when not in use?

Store the fleece folded or loosely hung in a dry place. Avoid storing it compressed for long periods, as this can affect the loft and insulating properties of the fleece.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels less warm after washing

Avoid using fabric softener during washing, as it can clog the fleece fibers and reduce their insulating ability. Wash with a mild detergent and tumble dry on low heat.

Zipper is sticking

Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. Gently move the zipper up and down. If it continues to stick, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.

Pilling on the fleece surface

Some pilling is normal with fleece, especially during the initial wears. To minimize it, wash the garment inside out and avoid abrasive surfaces or excessive friction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This garment requires no setup; simply unpack and wear.

Compatibility: The Taunus fleece is designed as a versatile layering piece and is compatible with other technical outdoor clothing, such as waterproof shells and base layers. It pairs well with hiking trousers, leggings, or casual pants.

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash cold (30°C) on a gentle cycle with similar colors.
  2. Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can reduce the fleece's breathability and wicking properties.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or hang to air dry. Avoid high heat, which can damage the fleece fibers.
  4. Ironing: Do not iron. The heat can melt or damage the synthetic fibers.
