Prism Micro InterActive Polartec Fleece Jacket - Black - M

Polartec Classic micro fleece is a high-quality, lightweight fleece fabric known for its excellent warmth-to-weight ratio and durability. It provides reliable insulation without adding significant bulk.

Look for an 'InterActive' label or description on your Berghaus outer jacket. These jackets are designed with a specific zip system to connect with compatible mid-layers like the Prism Micro Fleece.

While it can be worn as an outer layer in mild, dry conditions, it is primarily designed as an insulating mid-layer. It is not waterproof or windproof on its own and may not provide adequate protection in wet or windy weather.

Machine wash on a gentle cycle with similar colours using cold water. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry.

For extreme cold, this jacket serves best as a mid-layer. It should be combined with a warm base layer and a protective outer shell for adequate insulation and weather resistance.

The 'Micro' in Prism Micro refers to the type of Polartec fleece used, indicating it's a lighter weight version of their Classic fleece, optimizing for warmth without bulk.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently pull the fabric away. You can also use a graphite pencil to lightly rub along the zipper teeth to help it glide more smoothly.

Fleece can lose loft over time. Ensure it is washed according to care instructions and avoid harsh detergents. Gentle washing and air drying can help maintain its insulating properties.

Pilling can occur with normal wear and washing. Use a fabric shaver to carefully remove any small pills. Washing inside out can help minimize pilling.

Ensure both the fleece and the outer jacket are Berghaus InterActive compatible. Check that the zippers are correctly aligned and that there is no debris or damage to the zipper teeth on either garment.
