FAQs

Is this vest water-resistant?

No, this is a fleece garment and will absorb moisture; it is intended for warmth rather than weather protection.

Can I wear this under a heavy coat?

Yes, its low-profile design makes it an excellent choice for layering under shells or parkas.

Does it have an internal pocket?

This model features two external zip side pockets for convenience.

How should I store the vest during summer?

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain fabric integrity.

Is the fit true to size?

Yes, it follows a standard regular fit for adult males.

Troubleshooting

Pilling of the fleece material over time

Pilling is common with fleece; use a fabric shaver gently to remove surface fuzz.

Zipper feels stiff or sticks

Ensure no fabric is caught in the track and consider applying a tiny amount of wax or graphite to the zipper teeth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your fleece, machine wash it on a cold, gentle cycle with similar colors. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can coat the synthetic fibers and diminish the moisture-wicking and insulating properties of the fleece. Always close all zippers before washing to prevent snagging. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry to avoid shrinkage. The vest is designed for a standard adult regular fit; choose your usual size for the best layering experience.
