FAQs
Is this fleece windproof?
No, the Lumiko is designed for breathability and moisture management. It is best paired with a windproof or waterproof shell in exposed conditions.
Does the hood fit over a helmet?
The hood is designed as an 'under-helmet' style, meaning it is low-profile and fits neatly beneath a helmet or waterproof hood.
Is the material suitable for high-intensity activity?
Yes, its excellent moisture-wicking and quick-drying properties make it ideal for high-exertion activities like mountain trekking and rock climbing.
How does the sizing run?
The Lumiko has a slim, active fit. If you prefer a looser fit for layering over multiple thick garments, you may consider sizing up.
Where is this jacket designed?
This garment is designed and developed in the UK by Mountain Equipment.
Troubleshooting
Fabric pilling after heavy use
Use a fabric shaver or depiller to gently remove surface fuzz, which is a common occurrence with high-stretch synthetic fleece.
Zipper sticking
Check for debris or stray threads in the zipper track; wipe with a clean, damp cloth and ensure it is free from dust.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the Lumiko fleece, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle. Use a mild detergent.
- Avoid Softeners: Do not use fabric softeners as they can degrade the moisture-wicking properties of the fleece material.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to maintain the elasticity and shape of the fibers.
- Compatibility: The garment is designed as a base or mid-layer. It works best when paired with a breathable waterproof shell, as the trim, active fit prevents bunching between layers.
