FAQs

Is this fleece windproof?

The Helvetia II provides good insulation against the cold, but it is not windproof and should be paired with a windbreaker if in high-wind conditions.

How should I size this fleece?

It is designed with a regular fit. If you plan to layer it over thick sweaters, you may want to stick with your standard size, but those preferring a more technical, form-fitting look might consider sizing down.

Can I put this in the dryer?

Yes, but use a low-heat setting only. Excessive heat can damage the synthetic fibers and cause the pile to lose its texture.

Does it have side pockets?

The primary storage feature is the zippered chest pocket. It does not typically feature standard side hand pockets.

Is the material synthetic?

Yes, it is constructed from high-quality polyester fleece, which is designed to retain warmth even when slightly damp.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels matted or less fluffy

Tumble dry on low heat with clean tennis balls to help fluff the fibers back up, or gently brush the pile with a soft-bristled brush.

Snaps becoming difficult to open

Ensure no fabric is caught in the mechanism; if grit is present, gently wipe the snaps with a damp cloth.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality sherpa pile for excellent heat retention
  • Convenient zippered chest pocket for essentials
  • Stylish, textured aesthetic suitable for both trail and casual settings
  • Durable binding at cuffs and hem prevents heat loss

Cons

  • Regular fit may not suit those preferring a slim, technical silhouette
  • Sherpa material can be bulky for layering under very tight outer shells
  • Not intended for high-intensity aerobic activity where extreme breathability is required

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep the Helvetia II fleece in top condition, wash it in cold water on a gentle cycle. Always zip the chest pocket closed before laundering to prevent snagging. Hang-dry the garment or use a low-heat tumble dry setting to maintain the integrity of the sherpa texture. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can mat the high-pile fibers over time, reducing the fleece's ability to trap air effectively. For layering, this piece pairs well with standard cotton or synthetic base layers and fits comfortably under most standard-fit hardshell jackets.
