FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
No, this jacket is made of fleece and is not waterproof. It is designed as an insulating mid-layer.
Can I wear this as my only jacket?
It is suitable for mild, dry weather, but you will need an outer shell for rain, snow, or high winds.
Does the sizing run true?
The Daybreaker follows standard adult sizing. If you plan on layering heavily underneath, some users prefer to size up.
What is the primary material?
The jacket is constructed from high-quality microfleece, which is both lightweight and quick-drying.
How do I prevent the chin guard from chafing?
The jacket already includes an integrated anti-chafe chin guard. If you still feel irritation, ensure the zipper is fully cleared of fabric before closing.
Troubleshooting
Fabric appears to be pilling after frequent use.
Pilling is common with fleece; use a fabric shaver to carefully remove surface balls without damaging the structural fibers.
Jacket feels damp during heavy activity.
Ensure you are using a synthetic or wool base layer that wicks moisture; avoid cotton base layers which trap sweat against the body.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this is a technical mid-layer, compatibility is key. For best results, wear a moisture-wicking base layer underneath the Daybreaker to ensure sweat is effectively moved away from the skin. To maintain the integrity of the microfleece fabric: wash in a machine on a gentle cycle using cool water and mild detergent. Always avoid fabric softeners, as they can coat the fibers and degrade the moisture-wicking performance. Air dry the jacket whenever possible to preserve the technical fibers and prevent heat damage from tumble dryers.
