Full details
The Ridgeline Ballistic Fleece Hoodie is a versatile, high-performance layer designed for men who spend time outdoors in cold weather, offering a perfect blend of thermal warmth and breathable comfort for autumn and winter activities. While its fleece construction is exceptionally cozy, users should note that as a pull-on style garment, it is best suited for layering rather than high-intensity aerobic exercise where frequent removal might be necessary.

FAQs
Is the hoodie windproof?
The hoodie is designed for thermal insulation and breathability. While it provides excellent protection against cold, it is not fully windproof and should be worn under a shell in high-wind conditions.
Can I use the thumb loops while wearing gloves?
The thumb loops are designed for use with bare hands or thin liner gloves; wearing thick gloves may make it difficult to engage the loops comfortably.
Does the hood adjust?
Yes, the double-thickness hood features boot lace-style ties that allow you to cinch the hood tighter around your head for better coverage in cold weather.
Is the fabric fire resistant?
No, the fleece material is synthetic and should be kept away from open flames, campfires, and high-heat sources to avoid melting.
How should I store the hoodie during summer?
Store the hoodie in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure it is clean before storing to prevent attracting pests.
What is the primary purpose of the security pocket?
The security pocket is located to provide a zippered, safe space for essential small items like keys, coins, or a transit card that might otherwise fall out of the open kangaroo pocket.
Troubleshooting
Zipper feels stiff or catches
Clear any debris or loose fibers from the zipper track and apply a small amount of paraffin wax to the teeth.
Pilling on fleece surface
Use a specialized fabric shaver or a manual pilling comb to gently remove surface fuzz, maintaining the garment's smooth appearance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The Ridgeline Ballistic Fleece Hoodie is designed as a standalone layer or a mid-layer under a waterproof shell. To maintain the structural integrity of the fleece:
- Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle with mild detergent.
- Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the breathable finish of the material.
- Air dry by laying the garment flat to prevent stretching or distortion caused by hanging while wet.
- Do not iron or dry clean the fleece, as high heat can damage the synthetic fibers.
