Product Information
Full details
The Ridgeline Brenna Fleece Jacket is a versatile, lightweight layering piece designed for outdoor enthusiasts and equestrian hobbyists who require reliable warmth without bulk. Crafted from durable 275gsm polyester fleece, it offers a flattering, slightly fitted silhouette that functions well both as a standalone outer layer in mild temperatures and as an insulating mid-layer during cold or wet weather; however, users should note that the fabric is not waterproof and will require a shell jacket in heavy rain.

FAQs
Is the Ridgeline Brenna Fleece waterproof?
No, this jacket is made from polyester fleece and is not waterproof. It is best used as a mid-layer under a waterproof jacket in wet conditions.
Can I wear this while riding horses?
Yes, the fitted shape is designed for a trim, functional fit that prevents excess fabric from getting in the way while riding.
How should I clean the jacket?
Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle. Avoid bleaching or using heavy fabric softeners to maintain the breathable nature of the fabric.
Does it have internal pockets?
The jacket features two external zippered hand pockets for essentials, but no internal pockets.
What does 275gsm mean?
Gsm stands for grams per square meter. A 275gsm rating indicates a medium-weight fleece that provides good insulation without being overly heavy.
Does the zipper have any special features?
Yes, it includes a chin guard at the top to prevent the zipper hardware from rubbing against the skin.
Troubleshooting
Fabric beginning to pill after heavy use
Use a fabric shaver or lint roller specifically designed for fleece garments to gently remove surface pilling.
Zip feels stiff or sticks
Apply a small amount of graphite from a pencil or a dedicated zipper lubricant to the teeth to improve smoothness.
Garment losing shape
Avoid heavy detergents and fabric softeners, which can coat the fibers and cause them to lose their structured shape over time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your fleece, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water to maintain the integrity of the polyester fibers.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible to prevent pilling; if machine drying is necessary, use the lowest heat setting.
- Compatibility: Designed to fit true to size. For those planning to wear thick sweaters underneath, consider if you prefer a tighter or more relaxed fit.
- Storage: Hang the jacket on a sturdy hanger to maintain the shape of the shoulders and ensure the pockets are zipped when not in use to prevent damage to the closures.
