FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the brushed fleece material?

The brushed fleece offers a super-lightweight feel while providing significant warmth without being bulky, making it ideal for year-round use and layering.

Is this fleece suitable for very cold weather?

While it provides good warmth, it is considered lightweight. For extremely cold conditions, it is best used as a mid-layer combined with a heavier outer jacket and a base layer.

What does 'bluesign® product' mean?

It signifies that the product meets stringent global criteria for environmentally friendly and safe textile production, minimizing harm to people and the planet.

Can I wear this fleece for high-intensity sports?

Yes, its lightweight and breathable nature, combined with flat seams, makes it suitable for sports like hiking or running, especially in cooler conditions. The 1/2 zip allows for easy temperature regulation.

How often should I wash the fleece?

Wash as needed based on usage. Following the care instructions carefully with each wash will help maintain the fabric's quality and longevity.

Does the embroidered logo add bulk?

The HH® logo is embroidered, which is a low-profile application designed to lay flat and not add significant bulk or cause discomfort.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels less soft after washing.

Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can reduce the fleece's natural loft and softness. Ensure you are washing and drying according to the care instructions.

Zipper is difficult to use.

Ensure the zipper is fully closed before washing. Check for any lint or threads caught in the zipper track and carefully remove them. Lubricating the zipper with a graphite pencil tip can sometimes help.

Item appears to have shrunk.

Confirm that the garment was not exposed to excessive heat during washing or drying. Stick to the recommended warm wash and low tumble dry settings.
