FAQs
Does this fleece offer protection against wind?
The dense knit fabric provides significant warmth and blocks out mild wind, though it is not a technical windproof membrane.
Can I use this for outdoor work in the rain?
While the material is durable, it is not waterproof. It is best used as a mid-layer under a rain jacket during heavy downpours.
How do I swap the zip pullers?
The pullers are designed to be clipped on and off the zipper slider. Firmly pull the current tab away from the housing to remove it and snap the desired color into place.
What does the UPF 40+ rating mean?
It means the fabric blocks 98% of UV radiation, offering substantial protection for workers who spend extended periods in direct sunlight.
Is the material breathable?
Yes, the polyester construction is naturally breathable, making it suitable for active work environments without causing overheating.
Troubleshooting
Zip puller feels loose or detached
Ensure the interchangeable puller is firmly snapped into the locking mechanism on the zipper slider.
Pilling on fabric surface
Wash the garment inside out and avoid mixing with rough fabrics like denim or garments with hook-and-loop fasteners.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up your KX3 fleece is straightforward. Upon receipt, you can customize the appearance by swapping the default zip puller with one of the included blue, red, or lime green options to better align with your company dress code.
To ensure the longevity of the garment, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Avoid high-temperature drying to prevent shrinkage of the polyester fibers.
- Maintenance: Check the reinforced panels periodically for snagging or debris.
- Storage: Hang the garment on a sturdy coat hanger to maintain the shape of the shoulders and the integrity of the reinforced back panel.
- Compatibility: The fleece is designed as a standalone outer layer or as a mid-layer under a waterproof shell during severe weather.
