FAQs

What material is this midlayer made from?

The midlayer is made from a premium brushed-back fleece fabric, offering warmth and a soft feel.

How do I know if I should choose the Regular or Slim fit?

The Regular fit offers a standard, comfortable fit. The Slim fit is designed for a closer, more tailored silhouette. Check the specific product's size chart for detailed measurements for both fits.

Is this suitable for very cold weather?

This midlayer provides moderate warmth and is ideal for cool to mild conditions. For very cold weather, it is best used as a mid-layer combined with a base layer and an outer shell for optimal insulation.

How should I clean the club crest and branding?

It is recommended to avoid ironing directly over the club crest and branding. Washing instructions should be followed carefully, using cold water and low heat for drying.

What does the '1/4 zip with chinguard' feature do?

The 1/4 zip allows you to adjust ventilation by opening or closing the front zipper. The chinguard is a protective flap at the top of the zipper to prevent irritation and chafing against the skin.

Can this be worn as an outer layer in light rain?

This midlayer is primarily designed for warmth and is not waterproof. It can offer some resistance to very light drizzle, but for significant rain, an outer waterproof layer is recommended.

What is the purpose of the drop-back hem?

The drop-back hem is slightly longer at the back to provide enhanced coverage and prevent the garment from riding up during movement.

Troubleshooting

Garment feels too tight or loose.

Ensure you have selected the correct size and fit (Regular vs. Slim). Refer to the sizing guide for detailed measurements. If the fit is still not ideal, consider exchanging for a different size or fit type.

Fabric feels less soft after washing.

Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the fleece over time. Ensure you are using a cold wash and low heat tumble dry or air dry. Avoid high heat ironing.

Zipper is difficult to move.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to ease the zipper up and down. Lubricating the zipper with a graphite pencil or a small amount of wax can sometimes help.

Color appears different than expected.

Colors may vary slightly due to screen calibration and lighting conditions during photography. Please refer to product images and descriptions carefully. Contact customer support if the discrepancy is significant.
