FAQs

Is the Helvetia II Fleece waterproof?

No, this fleece is designed for warmth and comfort rather than water resistance. It is recommended to wear a rain jacket over it in wet conditions.

Can this be worn as a base layer?

It is best used as a mid-layer over a t-shirt or base layer, as the fleece material is designed to provide insulation rather than wick moisture directly from the skin.

What is the best way to clean the garment?

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle, using mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners, and tumble dry on low or air dry.

Does the fleece have pockets?

This specific junior model focuses on a classic, streamlined fit. Please check the garment interior or exterior for small security pockets if specific storage is needed.

How should I choose the right size for my child?

The size 5-6 is designed for typical children within that age range. We recommend measuring your child's chest and arm length to ensure the best fit against our size charts.

Troubleshooting

Snaps becoming loose or difficult to fasten

Ensure the fabric surrounding the snap is not bunched up. If a snap remains loose, check for debris or fabric fibers stuck inside the mechanism and gently clear them.

Fleece appearing matted or rough after washing

Avoid high heat in the dryer and do not use liquid fabric softeners. Use a specialized garment brush to gently fluff the fleece fibers if they become matted.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptionally soft and comfortable material
  • Easy to put on and remove with press-stud snaps

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This garment is ready to wear straight out of the packaging. To maintain the integrity of the fleece fabric, follow these care instructions:

  • Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using cold water to prevent shrinking.
  • Detergent: Use a mild detergent and avoid using fabric softeners, as these can coat the fleece fibers and reduce their moisture-wicking and insulating properties.
  • Drying: Air dry whenever possible to protect the material from high-heat damage. If using a dryer, select the lowest heat setting.
  • Compatibility: The slim-to-regular fit is compatible with most standard waterproof shells or insulated winter jackets if worn as a mid-layer.
