Product Information
Full details
The Berghaus Prism Micro Half Zip is an ideal mid-layer for active adult men who enjoy coastal trekking or hill walking and require a lightweight, thermal solution that doesn't sacrifice mobility. Crafted from high-quality Polartec Classic fleece, this garment offers an impressive warmth-to-weight ratio, ensuring you stay comfortable during varying exertion levels. While it excels in breathability and comfort, users should note that as a lightweight fleece, it is not windproof and may require an additional shell layer in extreme weather conditions.

FAQs
Is this fleece windproof?
No, the Prism Micro is designed for warmth and breathability. It is recommended to wear a windproof shell over it in high-wind conditions.
Can I wear this in the rain?
The fleece material is not water-resistant. It should be worn under a waterproof outer shell if rain is expected.
How should I choose the right size?
The garment is sized for an athletic, comfortable fit. Consult the sizing guide to ensure enough room for a base layer underneath.
Is the fabric machine washable?
Yes, it is machine washable on a cool, gentle cycle. Always check the internal garment care label for the most specific instructions.
What is the benefit of the Polartec fabric?
Polartec Classic provides a superior warmth-to-weight ratio, meaning you get high levels of insulation without the heavy weight of traditional fleece.
Troubleshooting
Pilling or small balls of fabric appearing on the surface
This is common with fleece over time; use a fabric shaver or lint remover to carefully trim the surface fibers.
Zip feels stiff or sticks
Ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth and gently clean any dirt or debris from the zipper track using a soft-bristled brush.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your fleece, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle. Avoid using fabric softeners as they can degrade the technical properties of the Polartec fibers.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible to maintain the garment's shape and prevent fabric shrinkage. Avoid direct high-heat exposure.
- Compatibility: This fleece functions best as part of a classic layering system: start with a moisture-wicking base layer, use the Prism Micro as your thermal layer, and top with a windproof or waterproof shell when necessary.
- Storage: Hang in a cool, dry place to maintain the loft of the fleece fabric.
