Product Information

Full details

The Albion Primaloft Active Evolve Body Warmer is a high-performance, unisex active fleece designed for outdoor enthusiasts who require adaptable thermal regulation during intense physical activity. Its primary benefit is the Primaloft Active Evolve fabric, which offers exceptional moisture transport and air permeability to keep you comfortable as your exertion levels shift. While it is incredibly light and packable, it is specifically designed for technical use and may not provide enough insulation for static activities in extreme sub-zero temperatures.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this vest waterproof?

No, it is designed for breathability and moisture transport rather than weatherproofing. It should be worn under a waterproof shell in rainy conditions.

Can this be worn as a base layer?

Yes, the soft hand feel makes it comfortable against the skin, and its moisture-wicking properties perform well in that role.

How should I wash it?

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle. Do not use bleach, fabric softeners, or high-heat tumble drying.

Is the fit true to size?

The garment is designed to be a close-to-body fit. If you prefer a looser layering style, you may want to consider sizing up.

What is the primary material?

The garment is constructed from 95g/m² Primaloft Active Evolve fleece.

Is this suitable for winter hiking?

It is an excellent mid-layer for active winter hiking, but you should bring an additional insulated jacket for static breaks or stops.

Troubleshooting

Fabric feels damp after intense exercise

This is likely due to the saturation limit of the moisture-wicking system. Pair with a more breathable outer shell or adjust your base layer density.

Zip is sticking or difficult to pull

Ensure the fabric surrounding the YKK zip is clear of debris. You can use a dedicated silicone zip lubricant to restore smooth movement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely lightweight at only 75g
  • Superior moisture-wicking capabilities for high-exertion sports
  • Highly packable for easy transport on long trips
  • Super soft hand feel for next-to-skin comfort
  • Versatile as both a base layer or an outer layer

Cons

  • Not windproof due to high air permeability
  • Limited warmth for static, low-intensity activities
  • Minimal protection against heavy precipitation

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your garment, always follow the care label instructions. Typically, fleece items should be washed in cold water on a gentle cycle to preserve the loft and performance of the Primaloft fibers. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can clog the pores of the fabric and inhibit moisture transport. For compatibility, the body warmer is designed with a close fit, making it ideal for layering under waterproof shells or cycling jerseys. Ensure you choose the correct size from the range (XS to XXXL) to take advantage of the high-stretch properties.
