Is the material stretchy?
The fabric is a soft microfleece, and the hem, cuffs, and collar feature stretch binding for a flexible fit.
What is the primary material?

Troubleshooting
Pilling on the surface of the fleece
Use a fabric shaver or lint roller to gently remove surface fuzz, and avoid washing with abrasive items like zippers or denim.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This garment requires no setup. For compatibility, it layers comfortably under standard waterproof rain shells or technical softshells. To maintain the fleece's integrity, machine wash on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the moisture-wicking properties of the polyester fibers. Hang to air dry, as high heat from a tumble dryer may damage the elastic binding at the cuffs and hem.
