FAQs

What is POLARTEC 100 fleece?

POLARTEC 100 is a lightweight fleece fabric known for its warmth and breathability. It's one of the lighter-weight fleece options, ideal for layering.

Can this fleece be worn in very cold weather?

As a standalone piece, it is best suited for mild to cool conditions. For very cold weather, it functions best as a mid-layer combined with a base layer and an insulated or waterproof outer jacket.

How do I choose the right size?

Refer to the brand's sizing chart for accurate measurements. The product is designed for an adult female fit, and typically wearing it over a thin base layer is recommended.

Is the fleece waterproof or water-resistant?

No, this fleece is neither waterproof nor water-resistant. It is designed for breathability and warmth and will require an outer shell for protection against rain or wind.

How does the recycled polyester affect the product?

Using recycled polyester reduces the environmental impact by utilizing post-consumer waste. The performance and feel of the fleece remain comparable to virgin polyester.

Can I wear this for high-intensity sports?

Yes, its breathability makes it suitable for activities like running or hiking where you generate heat. The half-zip allows for easy ventilation.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels less warm after washing

Avoid using fabric softener during washing, as it can impede the fleece's insulating properties. Ensure the fleece is completely dry before storing.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Gently pull the zipper up and down. If still stiff, apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track.

Pilling on the fleece surface

Pilling is a natural occurrence with fleece. Use a fabric shaver to carefully remove small pills. Avoid washing with abrasive materials like denim.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely lightweight and packable.
  • Made from recycled materials, promoting sustainability.
  • Breathable to manage body temperature during activity.
  • Versatile for different layering combinations and seasons.
  • Adjustable half-zip for personalized ventilation.

Cons

  • May not provide sufficient warmth on its own in very cold conditions.
  • Basic design may lack advanced technical features.
  • Fleece can pill over time with extensive use and washing.
  • Relies on other layers for significant weather protection (wind/rain).

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This is a ready-to-wear garment. Ensure it fits correctly before use.

Compatibility: The Taunus fleece is designed to be compatible with a variety of outdoor clothing systems. It pairs well with base layers for warmth and can be worn under a waterproof or windproof jacket for added protection against the elements.

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash cold (30°C) with similar colors. Use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can reduce the fleece's breathability and warmth.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or hang to air dry. Avoid high heat, which can damage the synthetic fibers.
  3. Ironing: Do not iron. The heat can melt the fleece material.
  4. Storage: Store folded or hung in a cool, dry place.
