FAQs

What is the main benefit of the insulating fabric technology?

The insulating fabric technology is designed to trap body heat effectively, keeping you warm without adding significant bulk to the garment.

How do I find the right size?

Refer to the sizing chart provided. Measurements are given in inches for chest size (e.g., L: 43 in.). It's recommended to measure your chest circumference to ensure the best fit for the regular cut.

Can this fleece be worn as an outer layer in winter?

While it provides good insulation, it is best suited as a mid-layer for very cold weather. For true winter conditions, it should be worn under a heavier jacket or a windproof/waterproof outer shell.

Is the recycled polyester aspect significant?

Yes, 60% of the fleece material is made from recycled polyester, which reduces environmental impact by utilizing post-consumer waste.

How should I wash the fleece to maintain its quality?

Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle and avoid bleach. Tumble dry on low or air dry. Do not dry clean.

What is the purpose of the front pocket?

The front pocket features a zip closure and is designed to securely hold small personal items like keys, cards, or a phone.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels tight or restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size. If you prefer a looser fit for layering, consider sizing up or pairing with thinner base layers.

Zipper is difficult to move

Gently try to move the zipper. If it catches, check for any fabric obstructions. You can apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a wax-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.

Fleece loses its softness after washing

Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade fleece fibers. Ensure you are using a gentle wash cycle and air drying or low tumble drying.
