FAQs

What type of activities is this fleece best suited for?

It's ideal for a wide range of outdoor activities such as hiking, camping, skiing, and general casual wear in cooler weather. Its versatility makes it suitable for both active pursuits and everyday use.

Is this jacket waterproof?

No, this is a fleece jacket made from Polartec® material, which is designed for insulation and breathability. It is not waterproof and will require a separate waterproof outer shell for protection against rain or snow.

How should I care for the Polartec® fleece?

Machine wash cold (30°C) with a mild detergent. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Avoid bleach, ironing, and dry cleaning to maintain the fabric's performance and longevity.

What does '1/2 Zip' mean?

This refers to a zipper that extends halfway down the front of the jacket, from the collar to the chest. It allows for easy ventilation and quick adjustments to body temperature.

What is the fit like?

The jacket features a 'Regular' fit, meaning it is neither slim nor oversized. This allows for comfortable layering over other garments like t-shirts or light long-sleeve shirts, while still offering a clean silhouette.

What does 'Flatlock seams' do?

Flatlock seams are constructed to lie flat, minimizing bulk and preventing chafing or irritation against the skin. This enhances comfort, especially during physical activities.

Is this jacket suitable for very cold winter conditions?

As a mid-layer, it provides excellent warmth. For very cold winter conditions, it is recommended to layer this fleece with a suitable base layer underneath and a protective, insulated outer shell on top.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels less warm over time.

Ensure the fleece is clean. Oils and dirt can reduce the insulating properties of fleece. Follow care instructions to wash and dry properly.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. If still stiff, apply a small amount of wax (like a candle or beeswax) to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.

Seams feel uncomfortable or are causing irritation.

The flatlock seams are designed to minimize this, but ensure the garment is being worn with appropriate base layers if direct skin contact is an issue. Check for any snags or damage to the seams.
