FAQs

Is this garment windproof?

No, the Blindside midlayer is designed for warmth and breathability; it is not windproof and should be paired with a shell in windy conditions.

Can I wear this as a standalone jacket?

Yes, it functions well as an outer layer in mild, dry weather conditions.

What is the weight of the fabric?

This midlayer is crafted from a 300 g/m2 weight fleece, making it quite warm and substantial.

Does it have pockets?

The standard design of this 1/4 zip midlayer does not feature external pockets to maintain a streamlined fit for layering.

How should I choose the right size?

The garment is designed for a snug fit. If you prefer to wear heavy base layers underneath, you may consider your standard size, but check the brand size guide for specific measurements.

Is the fabric machine washable?

Yes, it is machine washable; please follow the care label instructions, typically using a cool wash and avoiding softeners.

Troubleshooting

The zip feels stiff or catches on fabric

Ensure the internal fabric guard is not folded over. Keep the track clear of lint or debris.

Pilling occurs after washing

Turn the garment inside out before washing and avoid mixing with rough fabrics like denim or garments with hook-and-loop fasteners.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent thermal retention for cold environments
  • Stretchy material allows for unrestricted movement
  • Sustainable design using recycled fabrics
  • Versatile 1/4 zip design for easy layering
  • Soft internal lining for increased comfort

Cons

  • Can feel bulky if layered under tight-fitting shells
  • Not windproof on its own
  • Heavier fabric may take longer to dry than lightweight baselayers

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maintain the integrity of the technical fleece, machine wash it in cold water on a gentle cycle. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can coat the fibers and degrade the performance of the moisture-wicking properties. Do not bleach or iron. It is best to air dry the garment flat to prevent the fleece from matting. Regarding compatibility, this midlayer is designed to fit under standard outdoor shells and jackets; if you prefer a slimmer profile, consider that the 300 g/m2 weight will add noticeable volume beneath your outer layers.
