FAQs

What is the primary purpose of this jacket?

This jacket is designed as a lightweight, insulating second layer, ideal for providing warmth under other garments in cooler conditions.

How should I wash this fleece jacket?

Wash at 40 degrees Celsius with colored items. Avoid bleach, tumble drying, and ironing. Professional dry cleaning is also an option.

Will this jacket keep me warm in very cold weather on its own?

As a microfleece, it provides good insulation for its weight, but for very cold conditions, it is best used as part of a layering system with a windproof or waterproof outer layer.

What does 'antipilling treated' mean?

It means the fabric has been treated to resist the formation of small balls (pills) on the surface, which helps the jacket maintain its smooth appearance and feel over time.

Are the pockets zippered?

Yes, the two front pockets have zippers for secure storage. There are also two internal pockets.

What sizes are available?

This jacket is available in a range of sizes from XS to 4XL.

Is this jacket windproof?

While the material offers some wind resistance, it is not fully windproof. It is best paired with a windproof outer layer for protection against strong winds.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels too tight

Consider layering with lighter base layers. If the fit is consistently uncomfortable, consider trying a size up or a different model with a more relaxed fit.

Pilling has started to appear

While treated for antipilling, excessive friction can still cause minor pilling. Ensure you are following the washing and drying instructions carefully. Gently remove any small pills with a fabric shaver if necessary.

Zipper is stiff

Ensure the zipper area is clean and free of debris. You can apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth to improve smoothness.
