Product Information
Full details
The Berghaus Prism Micro Half Zip is an ideal layering garment for adult men who enjoy coastal hiking and hillside trekking. It offers excellent thermal insulation in a lightweight package, providing a balance of durability and comfort for active outdoor use. While it excels at trapping body heat during cool weather, its lightweight nature means it is best utilized as a mid-layer rather than a standalone piece in severe, wet-weather conditions.

FAQs
Is this fleece windproof?
The Prism Micro is designed for warmth and breathability; while the high collar blocks some wind, it is not a windproof garment and should be layered with a shell in high-wind conditions.
Can I wear this as my outer layer?
It is suitable for dry, cool days, but because it is a fleece, it will absorb moisture and provide no wind protection in extreme weather.
How does the sizing run?
The product is designed with a standard fit for layering; it is recommended to stick to your usual size if you plan to wear a base layer underneath.
Is the material prone to pilling?
The fabric is engineered for durability, but following the washing instructions carefully will further minimize the risk of pilling over time.
Does this fleece have pockets?
No, the design of the Prism Micro Half Zip prioritizes a lightweight, minimalist profile for layering and does not include pockets.
Troubleshooting
Fabric appears to be losing its soft texture
This is often due to detergent residue. Ensure you are using a minimal amount of gentle detergent and skipping fabric softeners entirely.
Zip feels stiff or sticks
Check for fabric caught in the teeth. If the zip remains stiff, ensure it is clean of debris and use a dry silicone-based lubricant spray if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your fleece in top condition, always follow the care label instructions. Generally, you should machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle using a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can coat the synthetic fibers and degrade the garment's moisture-wicking properties. Hang-dry or tumble dry on a very low heat setting to prevent material shrinkage. This fleece is highly compatible with most technical outdoor gear, fitting comfortably beneath standard waterproof or down jackets without causing bunching at the shoulders or arms.
