FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
No, it is a technical fleece and does not provide protection against rain or snow.
Can I wear this as my only layer?
It is designed as a mid-layer. While it provides warmth, it offers no wind resistance, so it is best combined with a shell in exposed conditions.
How does the sizing run?
The jacket features an athletic, slim fit. If you prefer to wear thick base layers underneath, you may want to consider sizing up.
What is Polartec® Power Stretch Pro®?
It is a specialized fabric that features a durable, smooth outer layer for abrasion resistance and a soft, brushed inner layer for moisture management and warmth.
Are the pockets compatible with harness straps?
Yes, the raised pocket placement is specifically designed to remain accessible while wearing both backpack hip belts and climbing harnesses.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels damp after long periods of activity
Ensure you are using a synthetic base layer to maximize the wicking potential of the Polartec fabric.
Jacket is losing its stretch or shape
Avoid using high heat in the tumble dryer and do not use fabric softeners during the wash cycle.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent moisture management for active use
- Highly flexible fabric allows for full range of motion
- Convenient pocket placement for backpack users
- Durable construction suitable for rugged environments
Cons
- Not windproof or waterproof
- Designed as a technical mid-layer, providing less insulation than heavy down jackets
- Slim-fit cut may feel restrictive if worn over bulky base layers
Setup, Compatibility & Care
This jacket is designed as part of a modular layering system. To maintain the integrity of the technical fleece fibers, follow these care instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C using mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can coat the fibers and reduce the wicking capabilities of the fabric.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible. If you must use a dryer, select the lowest heat setting to prevent material degradation.
- Compatibility: It works best when worn over a moisture-wicking base layer and under a waterproof/windproof outer shell.
- Storage: Hang in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading and potential fabric stiffening over time.
