FAQs
Is this fleece waterproof?
It is water-repellent, meaning it will shed light rain, but it is not fully waterproof and should not be used as a substitute for a dedicated rain jacket in heavy downpours.
What is borg fleece?
Borg fleece is a high-pile, synthetic fabric designed to mimic sheep's wool, offering excellent insulation and a very soft texture.
Can I put this in the tumble dryer?
It is recommended to air dry the garment to protect the fabric finish and maintain the pile quality. Always check the specific care label instructions.
Is the material breathable?
Yes, the polyester construction is naturally breathable, allowing sweat to escape during light physical activity.
How do I adjust the hem?
There is an integrated elasticated drawcord system at the hem that can be pulled and locked to provide a snug fit.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels less water-resistant over time
The Hydropel finish can wear off with heavy use. Use a wash-in DWR treatment to restore the water-repellent properties.
Borg fleece appears matted or flat
Gently brush the fleece with a soft-bristled garment brush after washing and drying to restore the pile's loft.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your fleece maintains its water-repellent properties, always follow the garment's care label. Generally, wash with like colors on a cool, gentle cycle. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can interfere with the Hydropel coating. To refresh the water-repellent performance over time, consider using a specialized DWR (Durable Water Repellent) wash-in treatment. Store the garment in a cool, dry place to prevent the long pile fleece from compressing.
