FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

No, it is designed to be moisture-wicking and warm, not waterproof. It should be worn under a shell in rainy conditions.

Can I wear this as a winter jacket?

It serves as an excellent mid-layer during winter, but you will likely need an insulated or windproof outer layer for extreme cold.

What does Circular Design mean?

It means the product is designed with the entire lifecycle in mind, focusing on durability, reparability, and materials that are easier to recycle.

How should I wash the fleece?

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners, and allow it to air dry.

Is the fabric heavy?

No, the Glacier fleece is lightweight, which makes it ideal for layering without feeling bulky or restrictive.

Troubleshooting

The fleece feels damp after short periods of exercise

Ensure you are using a proper wicking base layer underneath; wearing cotton against your skin will trap moisture that the fleece cannot effectively manage.

Pilling occurs on the surface of the fabric

Pilling is common with fleece over time. Use a fabric shaver to carefully remove pilling and wash the garment inside out to reduce friction.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent moisture-wicking capabilities for high-intensity activity
  • Lightweight yet warm for effective layering
  • Sustainable design focus
  • Versatile for both trail and casual environments

Cons

  • Not waterproof on its own
  • Requires a shell layer for extreme weather conditions
  • Limited to mid-layer thermal protection

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your jacket stays in top condition, follow standard care guidelines for polyester fleece: machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle with like colors. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the technical fibers and hinder the moisture-wicking performance. For best results, air dry the jacket to maintain its shape and material integrity. Compatibility is high; the slim profile fits easily under most technical shells and parkas, making it a staple piece for your outdoor clothing system.
