Product Information
Full details
The Berghaus Prism Micro Half Zip is an ideal mid-layer for adult men who enjoy coastal trekking and hillside hiking, offering excellent warmth without adding unnecessary bulk. Its primary benefit is the combination of high durability and a soft, comfortable feel that holds up under frequent outdoor use; however, potential users should note that as a lightweight fleece, it is best utilized as part of a layering system rather than as a standalone shell in severe weather conditions.

FAQs
Is this fleece waterproof?
No, the Berghaus Prism Micro is designed for warmth and breathability, not as a waterproof layer.
Can I wear this as my only layer?
While comfortable, it is designed as a mid-layer; it is best paired with a windproof or waterproof outer shell in harsh conditions.
How should I clean the zipper?
Keep the zipper free of grit and mud; if it becomes stuck, gently clean with a soft brush and warm water.
Does it fit true to size?
Yes, this model follows standard sizing, though the XXL is cut to allow for base layers underneath.
Is the material breathable?
Yes, the fleece is engineered to be breathable, which helps regulate body temperature during active movement.
Troubleshooting
Static buildup in the fleece
Avoid tumble drying; allow the garment to air dry naturally to reduce static electricity.
Fabric appearing less soft over time
Wash the garment without heavy detergents and ensure it is rinsed thoroughly to remove soap residue that can stiffen fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the longevity of the fleece, machine wash it in cool water with like colors. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can degrade the wicking performance of the synthetic fibers. Hang drying is recommended to preserve the shape and fabric integrity. This garment is designed to layer perfectly under a waterproof shell jacket, making it highly compatible with standard mountaineering layering systems.
