FAQs

What is the primary use case for this fleece?

This fleece is best suited as a moisture-wicking and quick-drying first or intermediate layer for active use in warm climates or during strenuous activities.

Is this fleece suitable for very cold weather?

While it provides warmth, it is primarily designed for warmer conditions or as a layer under a more protective outer shell. For extreme cold, consider a heavier insulation layer.

How do I care for the recycled polyester fabric?

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Tumble dry on low or air dry. Do not iron.

What does 'Abisko Lite' signify?

'Abisko' refers to a region in Sweden known for its outdoor activities, and 'Lite' indicates a lighter construction suitable for warmer conditions or high activity levels.

Are there other color options available?

Yes, this model is available in various colors such as Flame Orange, Blue, and Black, along with different material compositions like pure fleece in some variants.

Can I wear this as a standalone jacket?

Yes, in mild to cool, dry weather, it can be worn as a standalone jacket. However, its primary strength lies in its layering capabilities.

What are the benefits of the thumb loops?

The thumb loops help keep the sleeves in place, preventing them from riding up when you layer other garments over the fleece or during active movement, and they also provide a bit of extra warmth for the hands.

Troubleshooting

Garment feels damp after activity.

Ensure you are using the correct detergent and avoid fabric softeners, which can impede wicking. Check if the garment is overloaded in the washing machine, which can prevent proper rinsing and drying.

Thumb loops feel tight.

The thumb loops are designed for a snug fit to prevent sleeves from rolling up. Gentle stretching after washing may provide a slightly looser fit over time. Ensure the correct size is being worn.

Reduced moisture-wicking performance over time.

The material may have accumulated residue. Perform a deep clean by washing with a specialized technical wash or a small amount of baking soda in the wash cycle (no detergent) to strip away buildup. Rinse thoroughly.
