FAQs
Is this fleece suitable for very cold winter weather?
The Taunus HZ W Jumper is a lightweight fleece designed for moderate cold or as a mid-layer. For very cold conditions, it is recommended to layer it with a warmer insulating jacket or a waterproof outer shell.
How do I ensure the recycled materials remain durable?
Follow the care instructions carefully, particularly regarding washing temperature and avoiding fabric softeners, to maintain the integrity of the recycled fleece fibers.
What does 'bluesign certified' mean?
Bluesign certification means the textile was produced with the minimal impact on people and the environment, using resources responsibly, and ensuring consumer safety.
Can I wear this for high-intensity activities?
Yes, the half-zip allows for ventilation during moderate to high-intensity activities. However, for very strenuous activities, consider its breathability in conjunction with your exertion level.
How should I best care for the zipper?
Keep the zipper track clean from debris. If it becomes stiff, a small amount of wax or zipper lubricant can be applied sparingly.
What is the fit like?
The jumper is designed for a comfortable, regular fit suitable for adult women. It is intended to be worn comfortably over a base layer.
