Patagonia Retro Pile Marsupial Fleece - Purple

The Retro Pile Marsupial Fleece provides excellent warmth for cool to cold conditions and is ideal for 'rest days and campfire nights.' For extremely cold or windy weather, we recommend layering it with a windproof outer shell for added protection.

Machine wash warm on a gentle cycle, do not bleach, and tumble dry low. Avoid high heat during drying as it can significantly impact the fleece's pile and softness. Following these instructions will help maintain its luxurious feel.

It means the product was made in a factory that adheres to strict social and environmental standards, and the workers who made it earned a premium for their labor, which they can use to improve their communities and living standards.

This fleece features a 'straight, boxy fit' designed for comfort and easy layering. It's a regular fit, intended to be relaxed rather than overly slim or tight, allowing for freedom of movement and layering.

Yes, the fleece is made from 100% recycled polyester, and the main fabrics are certified as bluesign® approved. This ensures responsible use of resources, minimal environmental impact, and a reduced carbon footprint.

This fleece is not waterproof or water-resistant. It's designed for warmth in dry conditions. For rainy or wet weather, we recommend wearing a waterproof outer layer over it to stay dry and comfortable.

The fleece weighs 431g (approximately 15.2 ounces). This weight indicates a substantial, warm garment suitable for its intended use without being excessively bulky.

Ensure you are strictly following the care instructions: Machine Wash Warm and Tumble Dry Low. Avoid high heat during drying as it can significantly affect the pile and softness of the fleece. Using a mild, fabric-friendly detergent may also help maintain its texture.

Regularly clean any dirt, lint, or debris from the zipper teeth and slider. A small amount of zipper lubricant (like a specialized zipper wax or graphite from a pencil) can be applied to the teeth to help smooth operation. Avoid forcing the zippers.

While the Retro Pile provides excellent insulation, it functions best as part of a layering system. For very cold or windy conditions, ensure you are wearing an appropriate base layer underneath and consider adding a windproof or waterproof outer shell over the fleece, as fleece generally offers limited wind resistance.
