FAQs
Is this hoodie waterproof?
No, it is made of fleece and is designed for warmth rather than water resistance. It should be worn under a shell in heavy rain.
Can I use the thumb loops while wearing gloves?
Yes, the thumb loops are designed to fit comfortably even when worn underneath thin work gloves.
How heavy is the fabric?
The hoodie is made from 275gsm Southern Star fleece, which is a mid-to-heavyweight fabric ideal for cold weather.
Are the pockets deep enough for a large smartphone?
The kangaroo pocket is very spacious, and the additional zipped security pocket is specifically designed to hold valuables like phones or keys safely.
Is the hood adjustable?
Yes, the hood features boot lace ties that allow you to cinch it tighter around your face for better protection against cold winds.
Troubleshooting
Ribbed cuffs feeling loose
Ensure the garment is washed in cold water and air-dried to prevent the elastic fibers in the ribbing from breaking down.
Hood ties becoming tangled
Secure the boot lace ties with a loose knot before laundering to prevent them from catching on other items in the machine.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This hoodie is designed for a standard fit suitable for most adult men. For maximum longevity, wash the garment in cold water on a gentle cycle to preserve the integrity of the Southern Star fleece fibers. Avoid using harsh chemical bleaches, as these can degrade the material's thermal properties. When drying, it is recommended to air dry the hoodie away from direct heat sources to prevent shrinkage of the ribbed cuffs and hood ties. Because the fabric is 275gsm, it works best as an outer layer in dry-to-mild conditions, or as a mid-layer underneath a waterproof shell in heavy rain.
