FAQs
What material is this hoodie made of?
The hoodie is made from 100% Polyester, specifically pique fleece with a brushed inside, weighing 260 g/m².
How many pockets does this hoodie have?
It features two side pockets and one internal zipped phone pocket, totaling three pockets.
Is the hood adjustable?
The hood is fixed and not adjustable.
What is the best way to wash this hoodie?
Machine wash at a normal temperature of 40°C. Do not bleach, and do not tumble dry. Iron at a low temperature if needed.
Can this hoodie be worn in very cold weather?
It provides warmth as a mid-layer, but for extreme cold, additional layers or a heavier outer garment would be recommended.
What does 'pique fleece' mean?
Pique refers to a type of knit fabric construction that creates a textured pattern. Fleece indicates the brushed, soft, napped finish on the inside for warmth and comfort.
Does this hoodie have a windproof lining?
It features an inner wind flap behind the front zipper for added protection against drafts, but it is not explicitly described as fully windproof.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently pull the fabric away. If it persists, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.
Seams are fraying after washing.
Ensure you are following the recommended washing temperature (40°C) and using a normal wash cycle. Avoid overloading the washing machine.
Hoodie feels less warm after several washes.
The brushed lining might be becoming compacted. Ensure you are not using fabric softeners, which can reduce the loft of fleece. Avoid tumble drying, which can also affect the material's texture and warmth.
Phone pocket zipper is difficult to open/close.
Ensure there is no fabric obstruction. Lightly lubricate the zipper teeth with a pencil graphite or a suitable lubricant designed for zippers.
