Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I wear this as my only jacket in winter?

It is intended as a midlayer. In winter, you should pair it with a windproof and waterproof outer layer for complete protection.

How should I wash the Varde Fleece?

Machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle with mild detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners.

Does the material dry quickly?

Yes, Polartec® Thermal Pro® is specifically engineered to be moisture-wicking and quick-drying.

Is this fleece windproof?

No, it is highly breathable, which means wind can pass through the fibers. A shell jacket is required for wind protection.

What is the best way to store the jacket?

Store it hanging in a cool, dry place to maintain the loft of the fleece material.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels less warm than when new

This is likely caused by fiber matting from improper washing; ensure you use a gentle cycle and avoid fabric softeners to keep the pile fluffed.

Excessive moisture buildup during activity

Ensure your base layer is moisture-wicking and check that your outer shell is adequately breathable to allow heat and moisture to escape.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High warmth-to-weight ratio for comfortable long-term wear
  • Excellent moisture management and quick-drying capabilities
  • Highly durable fabric suitable for rugged outdoor use
  • Lightweight construction prevents overheating during active movement

Cons

  • Not windproof or waterproof, requiring an outer shell in extreme conditions
  • Slimmer cut may limit bulkier base layers underneath
  • Specific maintenance required to preserve fleece loft

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your fleece, follow these care instructions. Always wash in cold water using a gentle cycle and mild detergent to prevent the fibers from matting. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can coat the fibers and interfere with the moisture-wicking properties. Line drying is recommended, though you may use a low-heat tumble cycle if the manufacturer's care tag allows. For compatibility, pair this jacket with a breathable base layer and an appropriate waterproof shell to build a complete modular layering system suited for your specific outdoor environment.
