This garment provides cozy warmth through its soft-textured material while maintaining a non-bulky profile, though users should note that the lightweight design may not provide enough insulation for extreme alpine conditions without additional layers.

FAQs
Is this fleece windproof?
No, this is a breathable fleece designed for insulation and layering; it does not feature a windproof membrane.
Can I wear this under a waterproof jacket?
Yes, the low-profile design and flat seams make it an ideal mid-layer for use under a waterproof outer shell.
What is the primary material?
The garment is constructed from high-quality polyester fleece, chosen for its warmth-to-weight ratio.
How should I choose the right size?
The garment follows standard sizing. For a closer fit for layering, choose your usual size, or size up if you prefer a looser, more relaxed feel.
Is the chest pocket large enough for a smartphone?
It is designed for small essentials; most standard-sized smartphones will fit securely, though large 'Max' or 'Plus' models may be a tight fit.
Troubleshooting
Zipper feels stiff or sticks.
Clear any lint or fabric from the teeth of the zipper and use a light touch of graphite or wax to lubricate the track.
Fabric looks matted after washing.
Use a specialized fabric comb or a soft-bristle brush to gently fluff the fleece fibers back up after the garment is fully dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This fleece is a standalone casual piece that pairs well with denim for town use or technical trousers for light hiking. To ensure longevity, follow these care instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle with mild detergent.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible to preserve the fabric texture and elasticity.
- Storage: Fold the garment rather than hanging it for long periods to prevent shoulder stretch from the weight of the fleece material.
- Avoid: Do not use fabric softeners, as they can clog the fibers and reduce the moisture-wicking and insulation performance of the fleece.
