FAQs

Is this fleece windproof?

The Daybreaker is designed for breathability and warmth. While it offers some protection, it is not windproof and should be paired with a windbreaker or shell in gusty conditions.

Can I wear this in the rain?

This fleece is not waterproof. If you expect rain, wear it underneath a waterproof rain shell.

Does it shrink in the dryer?

It is best to air dry the fleece. High heat from a tumble dryer can shrink the garment and damage the fleece material over time.

Is it suitable for high-intensity sports?

Yes, its lightweight, breathable construction makes it ideal for activities like cross-country skiing, trail running, or hiking.

What does bluesign certified mean?

It means the product was manufactured in a way that minimizes environmental impact, ensuring safety for the environment, workers, and consumers.

Is the fit true to size?

The fit is standard. If you plan to wear thick base layers underneath, you might consider sizing up depending on your preferred fit.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels less soft after multiple washes

Avoid using fabric softeners, which can coat the fibers and reduce their natural softness and moisture-wicking capabilities.

Zipper feels stiff or hard to operate

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

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight and highly packable for travel
  • Soft, comfortable material with a premium feel
  • Excellent layering capability
  • Environmentally friendly with bluesign certification
  • Durable YKK zipper hardware

Cons

  • Limited weather resistance in high wind or heavy rain
  • Lightweight material may not be sufficient for extreme winter cold
  • Fleece material can attract static in dry conditions

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maintain the integrity of your fleece, machine wash in warm water with similar colors. Avoid using heavy detergents or bleach, as these can degrade the fleece fibers. Air drying is recommended to prevent shrinkage and maintain the soft texture, though the material is quick-drying by design. When layering, this piece is compatible with most standard waterproof shells or insulated vests. Ensure the zipper is fully closed before washing to prevent snagging on other items in the machine.
