FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

No, the Glacier fleece is designed for moisture management and warmth. It is not a waterproof jacket and should be paired with a shell during heavy rain.

Can I wear this as an outer layer?

It functions well as an outer layer in dry, mild conditions, but it does not provide protection against strong wind or heavy precipitation.

How should I wash this fleece?

Machine wash in cold water on a gentle cycle, using mild detergent, and air dry for best results.

What does the Circular Design initiative mean?

It means the product is designed with the end of its life in mind, utilizing materials and manufacturing processes that facilitate easier recycling or lower environmental impact.

Is the size XS gender-neutral?

Yes, this model is listed as unisex, though fit can vary. It is recommended to consult the size guide if you are used to gender-specific sizing.

Troubleshooting

Fabric appearing fuzzy or pilled after washing

Wash the garment inside out and avoid using heavy-duty wash cycles or detergents with harsh chemicals.

Zipper feels stiff or difficult to close

Check for loose threads or debris caught in the track, and ensure the fabric is clear of the zipper teeth before pulling.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent moisture-wicking properties
  • Easy to layer under heavier jackets
  • Sustainable design and materials
  • Convenient full-zip functionality
  • Durable polyester construction

Cons

  • Not windproof on its own
  • Limited water resistance in heavy rain

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because this is a technical fleece, proper care is essential to maintain its moisture-wicking performance. Always wash the jacket in cold water on a gentle cycle to prevent fabric pilling. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can clog the fibers and diminish the garment's breathability. For drying, air drying is recommended to maintain shape and fabric integrity. When layering, pair this fleece with moisture-wicking base layers to maximize the thermal benefits, and add a hardshell or rain jacket over the top when moving through exposed, windy, or wet environments.
