Patagonia Retro Pile Marsupial Fleece - White

The fleece is crafted from 100% fully recycled polyester double-sided shearling, offering both exceptional warmth and a commitment to sustainability.

While it provides excellent warmth for cool to cold conditions, for extreme cold, it is best utilized as an insulating mid-layer beneath a protective outer shell, as it is not windproof on its own.

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Tumble dry low or air dry. To preserve its softness and integrity, avoid using fabric softener, bleach, or ironing.

This fleece has a regular fit. If you prefer a more relaxed, loose, or oversized look, it is generally recommended to consider sizing up.

Yes, the fleece features both a zippered chest pocket and a marsupial handwarmer pocket with secure Vislon zippers, designed to keep your belongings safe during activities.

No, while it is very warm, this fleece is not inherently windproof or waterproof. For protection against wind and rain, it should be paired with appropriate outerwear.

The fleece is excellent for activities like hiking, bouldering, or general outdoor use in cool weather. However, for high-aerobic sports, you might prefer more breathable options, as its primary focus is warmth.

Ensure you are washing on a gentle cycle with cold water and avoiding fabric softeners. Tumble drying on low heat or air drying helps maintain the pile's loft. Over-drying or high heat can also damage the fibers.

First, check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. If clear, apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (e.g., silicone spray or graphite from a pencil) along the teeth. Operate the zipper a few times to distribute the lubricant.

This fleece provides excellent insulation but is not inherently windproof. For very cold or windy conditions, it's crucial to layer it with a windproof or waterproof outer shell to maximize warmth retention and protection.

Pilling can occur with friction. To minimize this, wash inside out on a gentle cycle. For existing pills, a fabric shaver or a lint brush can be used to carefully remove them.
