FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
No, the Varde Fleece is designed for warmth and breathability. It is water-resistant in terms of being quick-drying, but you should pair it with a waterproof shell in heavy rain.
Does it have a hood?
No, this version of the Varde Fleece 2.0 features a high protective collar rather than a hood.
Can I use this for skiing?
Yes, it functions perfectly as a mid-layer underneath a ski shell, providing insulation that won't trap excessive moisture.
What does bluesign certified mean?
It means the product was manufactured using methods and materials that minimize the impact on the environment and ensure consumer safety.
How should I clean the zipper if it gets stuck?
Ensure no fabric is caught in the track. If it remains stiff, gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft toothbrush to remove dirt or debris.
Troubleshooting
Pilling or small lint balls on the surface
Pilling is common with high-performance fleece. Use a fabric shaver to gently remove surface fuzz, and avoid contact with rough surfaces like velcro straps.
Jacket feels less warm over time
The fibers may have become matted with body oils or sweat. Wash the jacket thoroughly using a technical gear wash to restore the loft and warmth-trapping ability.
Pros and Cons
Pros

- Sustainable design using recycled, bluesign approved materials
- Quick-drying properties ideal for unpredictable weather

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your fleece, follow these care instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle in cool water. Always zip up all zippers before putting the garment in the machine to protect the fabric.
- Detergent: Use a mild, non-biological detergent. Avoid bleach or heavy fabric softeners, as these can strip the moisture-wicking properties of the Polartec material.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible. The jacket is designed to be quick-drying, so it typically performs well with simple hang-drying in a ventilated area.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the color vibrancy of the purple finish.
