FAQs

Is this fleece windproof?

No, the Daybreaker is designed for breathability and warmth. It is not windproof and should be layered under a shell in windy conditions.

Can I wear this as a base layer?

Yes, its soft texture makes it comfortable against the skin, though it is more commonly used as a midlayer over a dedicated moisture-wicking base.

What does bluesign certified mean?

It means the textile production process meets strict environmental and safety standards, reducing the impact on people and the planet.

Are there pockets on this fleece?

No, the Daybreaker Half-Zip is a minimalist design and does not feature hand or chest pockets.

How do I choose the right size?

The fleece generally follows standard sizing. If you plan to wear thick layers underneath, you may want to consider sizing up.

Is this garment machine washable?

Yes, it is machine washable on a cold, gentle cycle. Always refer to the internal care label for specific instructions.

Troubleshooting

Zipper feels stiff or sticky

Clear any lint or fabric from the zipper track and apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or a graphite pencil tip to the teeth.

Pilling on the fabric surface

Avoid washing with rough fabrics like denim or garments with Velcro; use a fabric shaver to gently remove any surface pilling.

Loss of softness

Ensure you are not using fabric softener during the wash cycle, as it creates a residue that traps dirt and creates a waxy, stiff feeling.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely lightweight and packable
  • Soft, comfortable hand-feel
  • Highly sustainable materials
  • High collar provides extra protection from chill
  • Reliable YKK zipper hardware

Cons

  • Not windproof
  • No hand-warmer pockets
  • Limited water resistance

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep your fleece in top condition, machine wash it in cold water with similar colors. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can break down the technical fibers and reduce the fleece's moisture-wicking efficiency. Air drying is highly recommended to maintain the velvety texture of the fabric for as long as possible. The Daybreaker is designed to fit standard layering systems; it works best under a waterproof rain shell or an insulated jacket when the mercury drops. Ensure the zipper is closed before washing to prevent snagging on other garments.
