FAQs

What is the primary material of this fleece?

The primary material is 100% polyester Sherpa pile fleece, known for its warmth and softness.

Is this fleece waterproof?

No, this fleece is designed for warmth and comfort and is not waterproof. It is best used in dry or mildly damp conditions, or as a layer under a waterproof outer shell.

How do I determine my correct size?

Refer to standard men's sizing charts. The 'Regular fit' is designed for a comfortable range of motion.

Can this fleece be worn in very cold weather?

It is suitable for cold weather as a mid-layer, providing good insulation. For extreme cold, layering with additional insulating garments and a windproof/waterproof outer layer is recommended.

What is the length of the jacket?

The center back length is 71.7cm (approximately 28 inches).

How should I clean the printed design?

Follow the standard care instructions: machine wash cold with like colors and tumble dry low. Avoid harsh detergents or high heat which can affect the print.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels less warm after washing

Ensure the fleece is properly dried according to care instructions. Avoid fabric softeners, which can reduce the loft and insulating properties of fleece.

Zipper on chest pocket is stiff

Gently pull the zipper. If it remains stiff, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.

Snaps are difficult to fasten or unfasten

Ensure the fabric around the snaps is flat. Firmly grip the snap and apply steady pressure. If a snap seems loose, ensure it is properly seated.
