FAQs

Is this jacket windproof?

No, the jacket is designed for high breathability, which means it allows some airflow. It is best paired with a windproof shell in windy conditions.

Can I wear this in the rain?

The fleece material is not waterproof. It is best used as a midlayer under a shell jacket during wet weather.

How should I wash it to maintain its breathability?

Wash with mild soap and avoid fabric softeners, which can clog the grid structure and inhibit the fabric's ability to wick moisture.

Is the hood adjustable?

The hood is designed for a snug, athletic fit to move with your head.

Is this suitable for summer hiking?

It is ideal for high-altitude summer hikes or early morning/late evening starts where temperatures are cooler.

Troubleshooting

Fabric appearing fuzzy or pilling after heavy use

Pilling is common with synthetic fleeces. You can use a fabric shaver to gently remove surface fuzz, but do so carefully to avoid cutting the base knit.

Zip feels stiff or sticks

Clean any trail grit or dried mud out of the zipper teeth using a soft brush. Applying a small amount of zipper lubricant can also restore smooth movement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent warmth-to-weight ratio
  • Highly breathable for active pursuits
  • Great range of motion due to stretch fabric
  • Versatile as a midlayer or outer layer

Cons

  • Not windproof on its own
  • Lightweight fleece material is not reinforced
  • Limited to midlayer functionality in very cold or windy weather

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your fleece, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the wicking properties of the grid fabric.
  2. Drying: Air dry whenever possible. If you must use a dryer, select the lowest heat setting to prevent shrinking or damage to the synthetic fibers.
  3. Layering: This jacket is designed to be worn over a base layer for moisture management and underneath a shell if protection from heavy rain or strong wind is required.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the fabric's performance stretch.
