FAQs
Is this fleece windproof?
No, the Daybreaker fleece is designed for insulation and breathability rather than windproofing. It is best paired with a windproof shell in blustery conditions.
Does the sizing run large?
The product features a relaxed fit. If you prefer a more tailored look for layering, you may want to consider sizing down.
Can I put this in the dryer?
Yes, it can be tumble dried on a low heat setting, though air drying is recommended to extend the life of the material.
What activity is this fleece best suited for?
It is highly versatile and suitable for hiking, skiing, camping, and daily casual wear.
Are the pockets deep enough for a smartphone?
Yes, the zippered kangaroo pockets are designed to securely hold standard-sized smartphones and other essentials.
Troubleshooting
Pilling on the surface of the fabric
Pilling is common with synthetic fleeces after heavy use. Use a fabric shaver gently to remove surface pills and restore a smooth finish.
Static buildup during dry weather
Lightly mist the inside of the garment with a fabric refresher spray or use a metal hanger to ground the garment before putting it on.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This garment requires no setup. For compatibility, it is best worn over a synthetic or merino wool base layer to maximize moisture management. When layering under a shell, ensure your outer jacket has enough room to accommodate the fleece's loft. To keep the fabric in optimal condition, machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle with similar colors. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the wicking properties of the fleece. Hang dry or tumble dry on a low setting to prevent shrinkage and maintain the softness of the fibers.
