FAQs
Is this fleece windproof?
No, this is a breathable, lightweight fleece. It is best used as a mid-layer under a windproof or waterproof shell during windy conditions.
Can I wear this in the rain?
The material is moisture-wicking, not waterproof. It will provide warmth even if slightly damp, but it will not keep you dry in heavy rain.
Does it shrink in the wash?
Polyester is resistant to shrinking, but you should always use cold water and avoid high heat in the dryer to maintain the garment's original size and shape.
Are the pockets deep enough for a smartphone?
The concealed zip pockets are designed for small essentials like keys, cards, or a slim wallet. Most modern smartphones may fit, but larger models might be tight.
Is this suitable for high-intensity exercise?
Yes, its moisture-wicking capabilities make it a great choice for aerobic activities like hiking or cold-weather walking.
Troubleshooting
Zipper sticking or not gliding smoothly
Check for loose fabric or debris caught in the zipper teeth and gently clear the area. You can lightly lubricate the zipper with paraffin wax if it continues to catch.
Pilling of the fabric
Use a fabric shaver or a sweater comb to gently remove small fiber pills, which are common in synthetic fleece after significant friction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your fleece, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using cold water to prevent material degradation.
- Detergent: Use a mild, non-bleach detergent to protect the moisture-wicking properties of the polyester fibers.
- Drying: Air drying is recommended to maintain the integrity of the stretch bindings and the fit of the fabric. Avoid high-heat tumble drying.
- Compatibility: The jacket is designed to integrate with other North Face layering systems, allowing you to use the front zipper to attach it to compatible shells if applicable, or simply layer it comfortably under any standard jacket size.
