FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
No, this jacket is made of fleece and is not waterproof. It is designed to be breathable and warm, and should be worn under a waterproof shell in wet conditions.
Can I wear this as a standalone jacket?
It can be worn as a standalone piece in dry, cool, and calm conditions, but it offers little protection against strong wind or heavy rain.
How should I wash the jacket?
Wash on a cool, gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Do not use fabric softeners or bleach, and air dry.
What does 'four-way stretch' mean?
It means the fabric is engineered to stretch both horizontally and vertically, allowing for maximum freedom of movement during active use.
Are the pockets big enough for a smartphone?
Yes, the raised hand pockets are designed to hold essentials like smartphones, compasses, or energy bars comfortably.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels damp after activity
Ensure you are not wearing non-breathable cotton layers underneath, which trap moisture.
Excessive pilling on sleeves
Avoid contact with rough velcro or abrasive rock surfaces; use a fabric shaver gently to remove existing pills.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent moisture-wicking capabilities for high-output activities
- Highly flexible fabric allows for full range of motion
- Smart pocket placement is ideal for hikers carrying packs
- Breathable material prevents overheating during movement
Cons
- Not windproof or waterproof, requiring an additional shell in poor weather
- Fleece material may pill over time if exposed to heavy abrasion
- Performance fit may feel restrictive if layered over bulky clothing
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the technical integrity of the Polartec® fabric, avoid using fabric softeners during laundering, as these can coat the fibers and inhibit the wicking performance. Always wash in cool water on a gentle cycle and hang dry whenever possible to preserve the elasticity of the fabric. The jacket is designed for a technical fit; ensure you choose the correct size to maximize the moisture-wicking contact with your body. Compatibility is highest when layered under a Gore-Tex or similar hardshell jacket for complete weather protection.
