FAQs
What is the primary material of this jacket?
The jacket is primarily made of high pile fleece, designed for warmth and comfort.
Does this jacket offer water resistance?
This jacket is designed for warmth and is not waterproof. It offers minimal resistance to light moisture but is best used in dry or cold conditions, or as a layer under waterproof outerwear.
How should I clean the fleece to maintain its texture?
Machine wash cold with like colors and tumble dry low. Avoid high heat and do not iron. Gently brushing the fleece after drying can help maintain its loft.
Are there any special features for storage?
Yes, it features a secure zippered chest pocket and two hand pockets for storing essentials and keeping hands warm.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
It provides excellent warmth as a standalone piece in moderately cold weather or as an insulating layer under a heavier, waterproof jacket for extreme cold.
What does 'high pile' fleece mean?
'High pile' refers to fleece fabric with longer, softer fibers, which creates more air pockets for increased insulation and a plush feel.
Can this jacket be worn by women?
While designed for men, women can wear this jacket. It is recommended to check the size chart and consider sizing down for a more fitted women's silhouette.
What is the benefit of the stretch binding?
The stretch binding at the collar, cuffs, and hem helps to create a snug fit, preventing cold air from entering and warm air from escaping, thus enhancing insulation.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is difficult to move.
Ensure the fabric is clear of the zipper teeth. If it feels stuck, try gently wiggling it. A small amount of graphite from a pencil on the teeth can sometimes help smooth operation.
Fleece appears matted or flattened.
Gently brush the fleece with a soft-bristled brush after drying to restore its loft. Avoid high heat during drying.
Pilling or excessive shedding.
This can occur with fleece. Wash inside out on a gentle cycle and tumble dry on low. Avoid washing with abrasive materials.
Fit is too tight or too loose.
Refer to the Columbia size chart for accurate measurements. Consider the intended use; if layering, a slightly looser fit might be preferred.
