Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the life of your fleece, always wash in cold water with similar colors and use a gentle cycle. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the specialized pile material. Hang-drying is recommended to prevent the fibers from matting or burning in a high-heat dryer. Regarding compatibility, the jacket is designed as an standard layering piece; it pairs well with light base layers underneath. If using it as a mid-layer under a waterproof jacket, ensure your outer shell has a relaxed fit to avoid restriction of movement.
