FAQs
What is the primary material of this jacket?
The jacket is made from 100% Polyester Microfleece, known for its warmth and softness.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
As a microfleece, it provides good insulation. For very cold conditions, it is best used as a mid-layer beneath a waterproof or windproof outer shell.
How many pockets does the jacket have, and are they zippered?
The jacket features two lower pockets, both equipped with zippers for secure storage.
Can I wear this jacket in the rain?
The microfleece material offers some resistance to light moisture, but it is not waterproof. For rain protection, a waterproof outer jacket should be worn over it.
What is the fit like?
The jacket has a standard fit, with stretch binding on the hem and cuffs for a secure and comfortable feel that helps prevent drafts.
How should I clean the jacket to maintain its quality?
Machine wash inside out on a gentle cycle at 30°C with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Do not iron.
Is this jacket suitable for women?
While listed as 'Mens', the unisex design and availability in various sizes might make it suitable for women depending on their preferred fit. However, it's designed with a male sizing standard.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the zipper teeth and try moving it gently.
Fleece feels less warm after washing
Avoid using fabric softener during washing. If fabric softener was used, try a rinse cycle with white vinegar (1 cup per load) to help remove residue. Ensure the fleece is not compacted.
Pilling (small balls of fiber) on the surface
Pilling is a natural occurrence with fleece over time, especially with friction. It does not typically affect the warmth. Gently remove any loose pills with a fabric shaver if desired.
Jacket appears stretched out
Ensure the garment is dried according to care instructions. Avoid excessive heat during drying. Minor stretching may occur with heavy use, but significant stretching could indicate improper care.
