FAQs
Is this hoodie waterproof?
No, this hoodie is made of fleece and is designed for warmth, not as a waterproof outer shell.
Can I use this for high-intensity exercise?
Yes, the breathable Southern Star fabric and 1/4 zip make it suitable for active use, though it is primary meant for insulation.
How do I choose the right size?
The hoodie follows standard adult male sizing. Choose your normal t-shirt size if you want a snug fit, or size up if you prefer wearing thick layers underneath.
What is the purpose of the thumb loops?
They keep the sleeves in place during strenuous activity and provide extra warmth over the back of your hands.
Are the hood ties removable?
The boot lace ties are integrated into the hood construction and are not meant to be removed.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels less warm after multiple washes
This is often caused by soap residue or fabric softener. Wash again without detergent or softener to restore the loft of the fibers.
Zip feels stiff or sticks
Ensure the fabric surrounding the zip track is clear of loose fibers and lightly rub a pencil lead or wax along the teeth to improve movement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This garment is designed for a standard, comfortable fit suited for layering under a shell jacket. To maintain the life of the Southern Star fleece:
- Washing: Machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can clog the breathable fleece fibers.
- Drying: Line dry in the shade to prevent potential heat damage to the synthetic fabric.
- Storage: Hang in a cool, dry place. Avoid using heavy-duty hangers that may distort the shoulder shape over long periods of non-use.
