Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

No, this jacket is made of high-pile fleece, which is designed for warmth and is not waterproof or water-resistant.

Can I wear this as a mid-layer?

While it can be worn as a mid-layer, its high-pile construction is quite thick and may feel bulky under tight-fitting shell jackets.

How should I wash my Extreme Pile 2 Jacket?

Machine wash in cold water with similar colors on a delicate cycle. Do not bleach or use fabric softeners.

Does it have an internal pocket?

This model features two hand pockets and an external zipped chest pocket; it does not feature an internal pocket.

How does the sizing run?

The jacket follows standard sizing. It is designed with a relaxed fit to accommodate base layers underneath.

Troubleshooting

Fleece fibers appear flattened or matted

Use a clean, soft-bristle brush to gently fluff the pile after washing and drying.

Zipper feels stiff or catches

Ensure no fabric is trapped in the track and clean out any debris; you may apply a small amount of zipper lubricant if necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior thermal retention due to high-pile material
  • Durable 315gsm weight feels substantial and high-quality
  • Multiple secure pockets for essential items
  • Adjustable hem ensures wind protection
  • Classic, understated aesthetic

Cons

  • Bulky profile can make it difficult to layer under thinner jackets
  • Not waterproof or windproof on its own
  • High-pile fabric may attract lint or debris

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maintain the integrity of the high-pile fleece, wash the jacket in cold water on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can mat the fibers and reduce the fleece's thermal efficiency. Always hang dry or tumble dry on the lowest heat setting to prevent material degradation. For fit, utilize the two-point hem adjustment at the base of the jacket to cinch the waist against cold air. The jacket is designed to fit over a base layer or light sweater, but due to its volume, it may not be compatible with slim-fit outer rain jackets.
