Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this garment waterproof?

No, the Switch Out Midlayer is designed for thermal insulation and is not waterproof. It should be paired with a rain jacket for wet conditions.

Can this be worn as a standalone jacket?

Yes, it functions well as an outer layer on cool, dry days, though it is primarily designed as a midlayer for added warmth.

How do I ensure I get the right size?

Consult the size chart provided for your specific model and match your child's age or height measurements to the manufacturer's scale.

What is the best way to clean the reflective pullers?

Gently wipe the zip pullers with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid harsh chemicals to preserve the reflective coating.

Is the material breathable?

The polyester fleece is designed to be breathable, though it prioritizes heat retention. It is best used for moderate to low-intensity activities.

Can I dry this in the dryer?

It is recommended to air dry to prolong the life of the fabric, though a very low-heat tumble dry cycle is generally acceptable.

Troubleshooting

Zip feels stiff or sticks

Check the track for any trapped fleece fibers or dirt and gently clear the area before re-zipping.

Visible pilling on fabric surface

Use a fabric shaver designed for knitwear to gently remove pilling, taking care not to pull on the weave.

Garment feels less warm than when new

Ensure the fleece is thoroughly washed to remove oils or dirt buildup that can flatten the insulating pile, then brush lightly after drying.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent thermal heat retention for cold days
  • Anti-chafe protection for comfort during extended wear
  • Reflective elements enhance safety in low light
  • Stretch binding prevents drafts
  • Functional storage with two zipped pockets

Cons

  • Polyester material may hold heat, leading to potential overheating during intense activity
  • Not waterproof, so it requires an outer shell in rainy conditions
  • Limited to kids' size ranges

Setup, Compatibility & Care

As a direct-wear fleece midlayer, there is no setup required; simply ensure a proper fit that allows for base layers underneath without restricting arm movement. For compatibility, it pairs best with a breathable base layer and a windproof or waterproof outer jacket for a complete three-layer system. To maintain the integrity of the fabric and the reflective features, machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the thermal performance of the synthetic fibers. Always air dry or tumble dry on a very low heat setting, and avoid ironing the fleece texture directly.
