Full details

Its key benefit is providing adjustable warmth and breathability, making it suitable for various outdoor activities or casual wear.

FAQs

What is POLARTEC 100 fleece?

POLARTEC 100 is a lightweight fleece fabric known for its excellent warmth-to-weight ratio. It's designed to be breathable and is often made from recycled materials.

Is this pullover suitable for very cold weather?

As a lightweight fleece, it provides moderate warmth. For very cold conditions, it is best used as a mid-layer in a comprehensive layering system, combined with a base layer and an insulated or waterproof outer shell.

How does the half-zip help with temperature regulation?

The half-zip allows you to quickly open the neck area for ventilation when you feel too warm, or zip it up to retain heat when you feel a chill.

Can I wear this directly against my skin?

Yes, the fleece finish is comfortable against the skin. It can be worn over a base layer or directly against the skin, depending on your preference and the temperature.

How do I ensure I choose the right size?

Refer to the brand's sizing chart for accurate measurements. The product description indicates this is a regular fit, so consider your preferred layering fit (e.g., if you plan to wear thick layers underneath, you might consider sizing up).

What does 'bluesign certified' mean for this product?

It means the fabric used in the pullover has been manufactured using a sustainable process that minimizes environmental impact, conserves resources, and ensures consumer safety.

How do I care for the recycled polyester material?

Follow the standard care instructions: machine wash cold, gentle cycle, and tumble dry on low or hang dry. Avoid high heat and fabric softeners to preserve the material's properties.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels less breathable over time

Wash the garment using a technical fleece wash or mild detergent without fabric softener to restore breathability. Ensure no residues are left in the washing machine.

Pilling on the fabric surface

Pilling is a common characteristic of fleece. To minimize it, wash inside out and avoid abrasion with rough surfaces. A fabric shaver can be used to gently remove pills.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Gently pull the zipper up and down to loosen it. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.

Care Instructions:
