FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
No, the Daybreaker Block Jacket is made from fleece and is not waterproof, though the shoulder panels offer slight additional resistance.
Can I wear this as a winter jacket?
It is best used as a mid-layer. In deep winter, it should be worn under a heavy insulating jacket or a wind-blocking shell.
What is the fit like?
It features a high-performance, athletic fit. If you prefer a loose feel or plan on wearing heavy base layers underneath, consider sizing up.
Are the pockets large enough for a smartphone?
Yes, the chest and hand pockets are designed to accommodate standard smartphones and other small utility items.
What does bluesign certified mean?
It means the product was manufactured with strict chemical safety and environmental standards, ensuring a sustainable production process.
Troubleshooting
Zipper feels stiff or difficult to operate
Clear any debris or fabric snagged in the track, then apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or graphite.
Fleece shows signs of pilling
Pilling is common with synthetic fibers; use a fabric shaver gently on the surface to restore the smooth appearance.
Loss of breathability
Wash the jacket using a technical garment wash to remove accumulated sweat and oils that may be clogging the fleece fibers.
Pros and Cons

- Lightweight yet warm for effective layering
- Durable shoulder reinforcements for backpack straps

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your fleece, follow these care instructions: machine wash the garment on a gentle cycle in cold water. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can strip the moisture-wicking properties of the technical fibers. Always close all YKK zippers before washing to prevent snagging. Hang dry whenever possible to save energy and maintain the shape of the fleece. For compatibility, this jacket fits well under most standard rain shells or hardshell jackets due to its low-profile, athletic fit. Ensure you check the sizing guide, as the high-performance cut is tailored for active movement.
