FAQs

What is the primary material of this fleece?

The primary material is a plush sherpa pile fleece made from 100% polyamide.

Is this fleece waterproof?

The fleece has a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish, which allows it to repel water to some extent, but it is not fully waterproof. It is designed for water resistance, not immersion.

How should I determine my size?

Refer to the brand's general sizing chart for women's apparel, paying attention to bust, waist, and hip measurements. The fit is described as relaxed and cropped.

Can this fleece be worn in very cold weather?

This fleece provides lightweight warmth and is excellent for layering. For very cold weather, it is recommended to layer it over insulating base layers and potentially under a waterproof and windproof outer jacket.

What does 'PFAS-Free' mean for this product?

PFAS-Free means the product's water-repellent treatment does not use Per- and Polyfluorinated Substances, often called 'forever chemicals', which are considered environmentally harmful.

How do I care for the printed pattern?

To maintain the printed pattern, wash the fleece inside out in cold water on a gentle cycle and avoid high heat drying or ironing.

What is the length of the fleece?

The product description specifies a 'cropped fit', indicating it will be shorter than a standard-length fleece, typically ending above the hip.

Troubleshooting

Fleece appears less fluffy after washing.

Ensure you are tumble drying on a low heat setting and avoid ironing. Gently brush the fleece pile with a soft brush after drying to help restore its loft.

Zipper on chest pocket is difficult to move.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to ease the fabric out. You can also apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.

Color fading after multiple washes.

Wash inside out in cold water with mild detergent. Avoid direct sunlight when drying. Ensure you are washing with similar colors.
