Fjällräven Abisko Lite Fleece Half Zip - Dark Navy - M

The Fjällräven Abisko Lite Fleece Half Zip M is primarily designed as a lightweight first or mid-layer for active use in warmer climates or during strenuous activities where moisture management and quick drying are important.

This garment features a regular fit. Please refer to Fjällräven's general sizing chart for men's apparel, paying attention to chest and sleeve measurements, to select the most appropriate size.

While it offers some warmth, it is best suited as a mid-layer. It is not designed to be a primary outer layer in cold, windy, or wet conditions. A shell jacket or insulated layer would be recommended for such weather.

The half-length zipper allows you to open the neck area to increase airflow and reduce heat when you become too warm. It offers less ventilation than a full-zip design but is lighter and less prone to snagging.

Color consistency is generally maintained, but minor variations can occur between production batches. The 'Dark Navy' variant is specified as 'Blue' in some product listings.

Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 40°C with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softener and tumble dry on low heat. Resisting washing with fabric softener is crucial for maintaining the moisture-wicking properties.

Ensure you are not using fabric softener during washing, as it can impede breathability. Check that the garment is clean from dirt and oils that might clog the fabric pores.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently pull the fabric away and try moving the zipper slowly. If the issue persists, apply a small amount of wax or graphite lubricant to the zipper teeth.

The thumbholes are designed to be discreet. If they feel constricting, try wearing the sleeves without fully extending your thumbs through the holes. The regular fit allows for this flexibility.
