FAQs
Is this fleece windproof?
The fleece is breathable and designed for warmth rather than wind-blocking. It is best paired with a windproof outer shell in gusty conditions.
Can I wear this under a waterproof jacket?
Yes, its low-bulk design and flat seam construction make it an excellent choice for layering under technical jackets.
How should I wash the garment?
Wash in a machine on a cool cycle (30-40 degrees) and air dry to maintain the integrity of the fleece fibers.
Does it have side pockets?
No, this specific model features a dedicated zippered chest pocket for convenience.
Is the material stretchy?
The fabric offers natural flexibility, and the addition of stretch binding on the cuffs and hem helps maintain a good fit during movement.
Troubleshooting
Zip feels stiff or sticks
Ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth and gently rub a graphite pencil along the zip track to lubricate it.
Excessive pilling or lint buildup
Use a fabric shaver or lint roller specifically designed for knit garments to restore the surface finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This garment does not require any complex setup; simply pull it on over a base layer. For optimal care, machine wash the fleece on a cool setting with similar colors. To preserve the softness of the borg fleece, avoid high-heat tumble drying, as this can degrade the texture of the fabric. Use mild detergents and avoid fabric softeners to maintain the moisture-wicking efficiency of the fibers.
