FAQs
What is the primary material of the Prospector Hood?
The Prospector Hood is built with a beefy 13-oz cotton-blend fleece, specifically 75% cotton and 25% polyester.
Is this hoodie suitable for very cold weather?
It is designed for brisk days and cool evenings, providing significant warmth due to its thick fleece. For extreme cold, layering might be advisable.
How does the fit run?
The hoodie features a generous regular fit, which is designed for comfort and allows for layering underneath.
Can the hood be adjusted?
Yes, the hood is drawcord-adjustable, allowing you to secure it against the wind or customize the fit.
How should I wash this hoodie?
Machine wash cold with like colors and tumble dry low or hang dry. Avoid bleach and high heat.
Does the blend of cotton and polyester affect breathability?
The cotton blend offers a balance of comfort and durability. While it's designed for warmth, it retains decent breathability for casual wear and moderate activity.
Will this hoodie shrink significantly?
The polyester in the blend aids in shrinkage control, but following the recommended cold wash and low/hang dry method will best preserve its original size.
Troubleshooting
Hoodie feels too tight or too loose.
The hoodie features a regular fit. Ensure you have selected the correct size based on your measurements. The drawcord on the hood allows for minor adjustments to its fit.
Fabric is not as warm as expected.
The warmth is derived from the 13-oz fleece. Ensure the lofted interior is exposed to air and not compressed by overly tight layers underneath. For maximum warmth, pair with other insulating layers.
Noticeable shrinkage after washing.
Follow the care instructions precisely: wash cold and tumble dry low or hang dry. The polyester blend is designed to resist shrinkage, but high heat can counteract this.
Pilling on the fabric surface.
While designed to resist pilling, excessive friction can sometimes cause it. Adhering to gentle washing and drying methods can help prevent this. Avoid washing with abrasive items like denim with metal zippers.
