FAQs
What type of activities is this midlayer best suited for?
This midlayer is ideal for outdoor activities like hiking, camping, trekking, and general casual wear in cool to cold weather.
How does the anti-bacterial technology work?
The fabric is treated with an anti-bacterial finish that inhibits the growth of odor-causing bacteria, helping to keep the garment smelling fresher for longer.
Is the hood detachable?
No, the hood is integrated into the design and is not detachable. It features an adjustable shockcord for a secure fit.
What is the purpose of the chin guard?
The chin guard is a soft fabric panel located at the top of the zipper to prevent it from rubbing against your skin, ensuring comfort.
Can I wear this as my only layer in winter?
It depends on the conditions. For very cold weather, it's recommended to wear this as a midlayer over a base layer and potentially under a waterproof and windproof outer shell for optimal protection.
How do I know if I ordered the correct size?
The product description provides size guidelines. For this specific L size, the UK waist size is 42 inches. It's always best to refer to a sizing chart if available.
What does '240gsm' refer to?
GSM stands for grams per square meter, which is a measure of fabric weight. 240gsm indicates a relatively dense and heavyweight fleece, providing good insulation.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth and try moving it gently.
Garment feels less warm after washing
Check care label instructions. Ensure you are using the correct washing temperature and avoiding fabric softeners, which can reduce the insulating properties of fleece.
Pilling on the fleece fabric
Some pilling is normal with fleece over time. To minimize, wash inside out and avoid abrasion with rough surfaces. Use a fabric shaver for minor pilling.
