FAQs

What is Sherpa fleece?

Sherpa fleece is a type of synthetic fleece fabric known for its soft texture and insulating properties, mimicking the feel of natural sheep's wool (shearling).

Is this jacket suitable for hiking?

It's suitable for light hikes in mild weather as a comfortable mid-layer. For strenuous activity or colder conditions, consider it as an insulating layer under a waterproof and windproof outer shell.

How do I know if I need a larger size?

It's recommended to check the Jack Wolfskin size chart for women's apparel and measure your bust, waist, and hips. Reviews often suggest sizing up if you prefer a looser fit or are between sizes.

Can I wear this in the rain?

The jacket is not waterproof. It offers some resistance to light moisture but will soak through in prolonged or heavy rain. A waterproof outer layer is necessary for rainy conditions.

How warm is this jacket compared to other materials?

Sherpa fleece provides good warmth for its weight, comparable to other fleece types. It traps air effectively to insulate, making it warmer than thin cotton but less insulating than down or heavy wool.

What is the difference between this and a 'Rotwand FZ W' or 'Kiruna Jacket W'?

These are different models from Jack Wolfskin. The High Curl is specifically known for its distinct Sherpa fleece texture. Other models might use different fleece types, have varying designs, or be intended for different levels of outdoor activity.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels matted or less soft after washing.

Ensure you used a mild detergent and avoided fabric softener. Tumble dry on low heat with a few clean tennis balls to help restore loft, or air dry.

Zipper is sticking.

Gently rub a graphite pencil tip or a bit of lip balm along the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track before attempting to move it.

Jacket seems to have shrunk.

Check the care label for specific instructions. If the jacket was exposed to high heat during washing or drying, it may have shrunk. Hand wash in cold water and air dry to prevent further shrinkage.

Pilling on the fleece surface.

Minor pilling is normal with fleece. You can carefully remove pills with a fabric shaver or by gently brushing the surface with a soft-bristled brush.

Care Instructions: To maintain the quality and feel of the Sherpa fleece:

  1. Washing: Machine wash cold with like colors on a gentle cycle. Use a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can reduce the fleece's effectiveness and loft.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Do not use high heat, as it can damage the fibers. If air drying, lay flat to maintain shape.
  3. Ironing: Do not iron. The heat can melt or damage the fleece fibers.
