FAQs

What does 'PFAS-free DWR finish' mean?

It means the garment uses a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) treatment that does not contain Per- and Polyfluorinated Substances (PFAS), often called 'forever chemicals'. This makes the finish more environmentally friendly while still repelling water.

Is this fleece suitable for very cold weather?

This fleece provides good warmth for cool to mild conditions. For very cold weather, it is best used as a mid-layer over other insulating garments.

How should I care for the printed pattern?

Follow the general care instructions, especially avoiding high heat during washing and drying, and do not iron directly on the printed area. This will help preserve the vibrancy of the floral print.

What is the length of the fleece?

This is a cropped style fleece. The exact length can vary slightly, but it is designed to sit higher on the torso.

Can this fleece be worn by men?

This specific product is designed for women, featuring a fit and style tailored for a female body type.

What material is the fleece made of?

The fleece is made from 100% polyamide.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels less soft after washing

Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoid high heat in the dryer. Consider using a fabric softener specifically designed for synthetic materials during the rinse cycle, or air dry.

Water repellency seems reduced

The DWR finish may wear off over time. You can reapply a PFAS-free DWR treatment following the product's instructions to restore water repellency.

Snagged threads or pulls

Gently pull the fabric around the snag to re-distribute the material. For more significant snags, use a fine-toothed comb or the tip of a needle to carefully work the thread back into the fabric.
