Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is Polartec Classic micro fleece?

Polartec Classic micro fleece is a high-performance fabric known for its excellent warmth-to-weight ratio. It is soft, breathable, and dries quickly, making it ideal for insulating mid-layers.

How does the InterActive technology work?

InterActive technology refers to a specific zip system on Berghaus fleeces and jackets. It allows compatible fleeces to be zipped directly into compatible outer shells, creating a single, integrated garment for enhanced warmth and protection.

Is this jacket waterproof?

No, this fleece jacket is not waterproof. It is designed as an insulating mid-layer. For protection against rain and wind, it should be worn under a waterproof and windproof outer shell.

Can I wear this as an outer layer?

While it can be worn as an outer layer in dry, mild conditions, its primary function is as a mid-layer. It offers warmth but lacks significant water or wind resistance for adverse weather.

What sizes are available?

This specific product is the XXXXL size in Black. Other sizes and colors may be available as separate product listings.

How do I clean the fleece?

Machine wash at 40°C using a non-biological liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softener and tumble dry on a low heat setting or line dry. Do not iron.

What is the main benefit of this fleece?

The main benefit is its superior warmth-to-weight ratio, providing significant insulation without adding bulk, making it comfortable for active use.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels less warm after washing

Ensure you did not use fabric softener. Fabric softeners can coat the fleece fibers and reduce their insulating properties. Wash again with a non-biological liquid detergent without softener.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to free any obstruction. If the zipper is dry, a small amount of graphite from a pencil can help lubricate it.

Fleece is pilling significantly

Some pilling is normal with fleece over time. To minimize it, wash inside out and avoid excessive abrasion with rough surfaces. Consider using a specialized garment bag for washing.

  • Excellent warmth-to-weight ratio for effective insulation.
  • InterActive system allows for versatile layering.

  • Durable construction for outdoor use.
  • Functional zip pockets for secure storage.

Cons

  • Primarily a mid-layer, requires an outer shell for full weather protection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This fleece is designed for immediate use. No specific setup is required beyond wearing it.

Compatibility: The key compatibility feature is its 'InterActive' technology. This means it has a specific zip system designed to integrate with Berghaus outer jackets that also feature InterActive compatibility. Look for jackets explicitly stating 'InterActive compatible' to ensure a secure zip-in connection.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Machine wash at 40°C.
  • Detergent: Use a non-biological liquid detergent.
  • Bleaching: Do not bleach.
  • Fabric Softener: Do not use fabric softener, as it can impair the fleece's performance.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry. Avoid direct heat sources.
  • Ironing: Do not iron.
