FAQs
What is Polartec fleece?
Polartec is a brand of high-performance fleece fabric known for its warmth, breathability, durability, and lightweight properties. It's designed to keep you warm without being bulky.
How do I know if my Berghaus outer jacket is compatible?
Look for an 'interactive' or 'zip-in' feature mentioned in the outer jacket's product description. Typically, these jackets will have a specific type of zip designed to connect with compatible mid-layers like the Prism fleece.
Can I wear this jacket on its own in the rain?
No, this fleece jacket is not waterproof. It's designed as a warm layer. For rain protection, you must wear a waterproof and windproof outer shell over it.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
As a mid-layer, it provides excellent warmth. For very cold conditions, it should be combined with a warm base layer and a protective outer shell to create an effective layering system.
How often should I wash my fleece jacket?
Wash your fleece jacket as needed, but avoid overwashing. Overwashing, especially with harsh detergents or fabric softeners, can degrade the material over time. Ensure it's clean before long-term storage.
What does 'Dapple' color mean?
Dapple is a specific color pattern used by Berghaus, often featuring a mottled or speckled appearance, providing a distinct visual style.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels less warm after washing
Fabric softeners can reduce the insulating properties of fleece. Wash with a mild detergent only and avoid fabric softeners in future washes. Consider using a technical fleece wash product.
Interactive zip not connecting with outer shell
Ensure both the fleece and the outer shell are Berghaus interactive models and that the specific zips are designed to connect. Check that no debris is obstructing the zips.
Pilling or bobbling on the fleece surface
Some pilling is normal with fleece over time, especially in high-friction areas. To minimize, wash inside out and avoid rough surfaces. Small pills can often be removed carefully with a fabric shaver.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This is a standalone fleece jacket and requires no specific setup. It is ready to wear out of the package.
Compatibility: The primary compatibility feature is its interactive zip system. This jacket is designed to zip into specific Berghaus outer shell jackets that feature an internal interactive zip. Check the product details of your Berghaus outer jacket to confirm compatibility.
Care Instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash at 40°C (104°F) with similar colors. Use a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, as they can reduce the effectiveness of the fleece.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators.
- Ironing: Do not iron. The material does not require it and high heat can damage the fibers.
- Zips: Ensure all zips are closed before washing to prevent snagging.
