FAQs
What is THERMO 200 Fleece Fabric?
THERMO 200 is a classic 200-weight fleece fabric with a brushed face and back velour. It is designed to be warm, soft, and comfortable, providing good insulation for cooler conditions.
What is the purpose of the TACTEL overlay panels?
The TACTEL overlay panels are placed on the shoulders to provide extra protection and durability against abrasion from backpack straps. They also feature a water-repellent finish.
Is this fleece suitable for heavy rain?
The overlay panels have a non-fluorocarbon water repellent finish, which is effective against light showers. For heavy rain, it is recommended to wear a waterproof outer shell over the fleece.
Can I wear this for high-intensity activities?
The Roco Pull On Fleece is best suited for moderate activity levels or as a warm layer during rest periods. For very high-output activities, the quarter zip offers some ventilation, but a more breathable or lighter layer might be preferred.
How do I clean the fleece to maintain its properties?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C with mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and tumble dry on low heat. Do not iron.
What kind of zipper does it have?
It features a YKK NATULON VISLON recycled front quarter zip, which is durable and environmentally conscious.
Does this fleece have pockets for my hands?
This model features an integrated YKK NATULON zipped chest pocket for essentials. It does not have handwarmer pockets.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels less warm than expected.
Ensure the fleece is clean. Dirt and oils can mat the fibers and reduce insulating properties. Wash according to care instructions, avoiding fabric softeners.
Water repellency seems reduced.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish can wear off over time. Re-apply a suitable DWR treatment after washing, following product instructions.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax to help it slide smoothly.
Overlay panels feel uncomfortable.
Ensure the garment is the correct size. If discomfort persists, consider wearing a base layer underneath to create a smoother barrier between the overlay and your skin.
