FAQs
Is this fleece windproof?
No, the borg fleece is breathable and designed for insulation, not wind protection. We recommend wearing a windproof shell over it in gusty conditions.
Can this be worn as a base layer?
While soft, it is designed as a mid-layer. It is best worn over a moisture-wicking synthetic or merino wool base layer.
How should I wash it to keep it soft?
Use a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can coat the fibers and degrade the fleece texture.
Is the fit true to size?
The garment follows standard sizing, though it is designed to be slim-fitting to improve layering efficiency. If you prefer a loose fit for lounging, consider sizing up.
Does the material shrink?
When washed and dried according to the instructions (avoiding high heat), the material should maintain its original size and shape.
Troubleshooting
Zipper feels stiff or stuck
Check the track for stray fleece fibers and clear them; apply a small amount of silicone lubricant if necessary.
Fabric appearing matted or flat
Wash the garment and use a soft bristle brush once dry to gently fluff the pile of the fleece.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your fleece in top condition, always follow the care label instructions. Generally, it should be washed on a cool, gentle cycle with similar colors. Avoid using harsh fabric softeners, as they can impair the insulating properties of the fleece fibers. Air drying is highly recommended to maintain the integrity of the stretch binding and prevent the fabric from matting. For compatibility, the slim-but-flexible cut makes it an ideal companion for technical shells, down jackets, or standard windbreakers.
