FAQs
Is this garment suitable for hiking?
While it provides good warmth and comfort, it is primarily designed for casual wear and outdoor leisure rather than high-intensity hiking.
How should I store this fleece during summer?
Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the vibrant colours and material integrity.
Will the colours bleed during the first wash?
To minimize any risk of colour transfer, we recommend washing the garment inside out with similar colours in cold water.
Does the funnel neck remain upright?
Yes, the borg funnel is designed to maintain its shape and provide structured coverage around the neck.
Is the material windproof?
While the dense fleece and borg construction offer some wind resistance, it is not technically classified as a windproof garment.
Can I tumble dry the fleece?
It is not recommended to tumble dry, as the high heat can damage the synthetic fibers and cause the garment to lose its softness.
Troubleshooting
Fleece starting to feel matted or flat
Use a specialized garment brush to gently fluff the fibers after washing, and ensure you are not overloading the washing machine.
Zipper feels stiff or difficult to pull
Check for any trapped fabric or lint in the zipper track, then apply a tiny amount of candle wax to the teeth to lubricate the mechanism.
Visible pilling on the fabric surface
Use a fabric shaver to carefully remove pilling, ensuring you move in a slow, circular motion to avoid damaging the underlying material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your garment, always consult the internal care label before washing. Because this item is made of fleece and borg, it is highly recommended to wash it on a gentle, cool cycle to prevent the fibers from matting or losing their soft texture. Avoid using harsh chemical detergents or fabric softeners, as these can compromise the heat-trapping properties of the fleece. For drying, air drying is the preferred method; keep the garment away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent shrinking or damage to the synthetic trims. For compatibility, this piece pairs well with casual trousers such as jeans or cargo pants and works best when layered over a light cotton base layer.
