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.
