FAQs
What type of material is the BAISELBERG FZ W jacket made from?
The jacket is made from a soft, elastic fleece material that is designed to be quick-drying and breathable.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

How do I know if I ordered the correct size?

Can I wear this jacket in the rain?

How should I clean the jacket?

What are the pockets for?
The jacket features two hip pockets, suitable for carrying small personal items such as keys, a phone, or energy bars.
What is the main benefit of the elastic material?
The elastic material provides a comfortable, non-restrictive fit that allows for a full range of motion during physical activities.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels less breathable after washing.
Ensure no fabric softener was used during washing. Wash again with a mild detergent on a gentle cycle.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to operate.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to pull the fabric away. Lubricate the zipper teeth with a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant if needed.
Pilling on the fleece fabric.
Pilling is a common characteristic of fleece. To minimize it, wash inside out and avoid excessive friction. You can use a fabric shaver to gently remove existing pills.
