FAQs

Is this fleece waterproof?

No, the Freethink II is made of insulating polyester and does not have a waterproof membrane. It should be worn under a rain shell in wet conditions.

Does this have pockets?

No, this specific model is designed for a streamlined fit and does not feature pockets.

How heavy is the garment?

The garment weighs approximately 240g in a size M, making it a very lightweight option for layering.

Can I wear this as a standalone jacket?

It can be worn as a standalone layer in dry, mild conditions, but it is primarily designed to function as an insulating mid-layer.

How should I wash my fleece?

Wash it in cold water on a gentle cycle, do not bleach, and air dry to maintain the texture of the brushed-back lining.

What is the benefit of the brushed-back construction?

The brushed-back construction creates a soft interior that traps warm air, significantly improving the insulating properties of the fleece.

Troubleshooting

Zipper feels stiff or hard to operate

Ensure no fabric is caught in the guard; if it remains stiff, apply a tiny amount of wax or graphite to the zipper teeth.

Static buildup on the fabric

Add a small amount of non-scented fabric conditioner during the rinse cycle or lightly mist with water before wearing.

Pilling on the surface

Use a fabric shaver or lint remover to gently remove surface fuzz, taking care not to pull at the knit fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This fleece is designed for a regular fit, making it easy to layer over base layers like thermal shirts. To maintain the integrity of the polyester material, wash the garment in cold water on a gentle cycle. Avoid using harsh fabric softeners, as these can degrade the wicking performance of the brushed backing. Always zip the fleece fully before placing it in the washing machine to protect the zipper teeth. It is recommended to air dry the garment to prevent potential shrinkage or damage from high-heat tumble drying.
