FAQs
Is the Didriksons Umi windproof?
No, the teddy fleece is breathable and comfortable, but it is not windproof. For windy conditions, wear it under a wind-resistant shell.
Can I put this in the dryer?
Air drying is highly recommended to protect the texture of the fleece. High heat from a dryer can damage the polyester fibers.
Does it run true to size?
The Umi is designed as an adult fit. If you plan to wear bulky sweaters underneath, you may want to consider sizing up.
What is the primary material used?
The jacket is constructed from 100% polyester, chosen for its durability, warmth, and soft feel.
How do I prevent the zipper from irritating my skin?
The Umi features a built-in chin guard at the top of the collar, which covers the zip puller to prevent direct skin contact.
Is this jacket suitable for winter sports?
It serves well as a mid-layer for winter sports, providing warmth under a waterproof ski jacket.
Troubleshooting
Fleece fibers look matted or flat after washing
Once dry, use a soft-bristled brush to gently comb through the fibers to restore the plush teddy texture.
Zipper feels slightly stiff
Ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth and gently cycle the zipper up and down to distribute any debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This jacket requires no formal setup—simply layer it over a base layer or long-sleeved shirt as needed. To maintain the integrity of the teddy fleece, wash the garment in cold water on a gentle cycle. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can strip the moisture-wicking properties of the polyester and cause the "teddy" pile to mat over time. It is best to air dry the jacket to keep the fibers fluffy and prevent shrinking.
