FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
No, the Benton Springs jacket is made of fleece and is not waterproof. It is best used as an insulating layer under a rain jacket.
Can I put this jacket in the dryer?
Yes, but use the low heat setting. High heat can cause the synthetic fleece fibers to melt or lose their fluffiness.
Does this jacket have internal pockets?
This model features two exterior hand pockets with zippers; it does not typically feature interior storage pockets.
How should I choose my size?
The jacket follows standard sizing. If you plan to wear thick sweaters underneath, you may prefer to size up for a more relaxed fit.
Is the material stretchy?
Yes, the fleece offers natural flexibility, allowing for comfortable movement during daily activities.
How do I remove pilling?
You can use a fabric shaver or a sweater comb specifically designed for synthetic materials to remove pilling from the surface.
Troubleshooting
Static buildup in the fabric
Lightly mist the jacket with water or use a static guard spray to neutralize the charge.
Zipper sticking or catching
Ensure no fabric is trapped in the teeth and gently rub a pencil lead or wax over the zipper track to lubricate it.
Fleece appearing matted after washing
Gently brush the fleece with a soft-bristled brush once it is dry to help restore the loft of the fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
As a ready-to-wear garment, there is no assembly required. For optimal performance, pair this jacket with a moisture-wicking base layer for high-exertion activities or a waterproof outer shell if you anticipate rain. To maintain the fleece's integrity, wash in cold water on a gentle cycle. Use a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, as they can degrade the moisture-wicking properties of the fabric. Tumble dry on a low setting or hang to dry to prevent heat damage to the synthetic fibers.
