FAQs
Is this jacket windproof?
No, this is a breathable fleece layer. It provides warmth but allows air to pass through, making it ideal for mild conditions.
Can I wear this under a raincoat?
Yes, the regular fit and lightweight construction make it an excellent mid-layer for use beneath a waterproof shell.
How does the sizing run?
The jacket follows a standard regular fit. If you prefer a tighter fit for layering, you may want to consider your standard size or check the fit guide.
Are the pockets deep enough for a phone?
The snap-button hand pockets are designed for small essentials. Larger modern smartphones may be secure but could feel bulky.
Does the fabric lose its softness after washing?
Following the recommended care instructions—specifically avoiding high heat in the dryer—will help maintain the soft, brushed feel.
Troubleshooting
Pilling of the fleece material
Pilling is common with brushed fleece; use a fabric shaver gently to remove small balls of fiber.
Static buildup
Use a light fabric softener during the rinse cycle or lightly mist with water to reduce static.
Zipper sticking
Ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth and gently clean any debris from the zipper track.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your fleece remains soft and retains its shape, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Avoid using heavy-duty detergents that may damage the brushed fabric.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible to preserve the elasticity of the cuffs and the integrity of the fleece fibers.
- Storage: Hang the jacket or fold it neatly. Avoid storing it in compressed spaces for long periods to prevent matting of the fleece material.
- Compatibility: The regular fit makes this jacket perfectly compatible with standard base layers or as a mid-layer beneath a heavier shell jacket during transitional weather.
