FAQs
What is the fabric composition?
The body is made of 190 gsm 96% polyester and 4% elastane micro-grid fleece.
What is the benefit of the grid fleece backside?
The grid fleece backside adds stretch and creates micro pockets to trap heat and wick away moisture.
Can I wear this as my only layer?
It depends on the conditions. The Heavyweight Hoody is designed primarily as a base or mid-layer. In milder conditions, it can be worn as a standalone layer.
How should I choose the right size?
Refer to the Simms size chart. Consider your body measurements and desired fit. The garment has a snug fit.
Does it have a warranty?
Warranty information is not available in the provided product data. Consult the manufacturer's website for specific warranty details.
Is the hood adjustable?
The hood is designed for a snug fit and does not have adjustable features.
Are there different color options?
The provided data only specifies a black color option.
Troubleshooting
The hood feels too tight.
Ensure you have selected the appropriate size. The hood is designed for a snug fit. If the fit is uncomfortable, consider a larger size.
The sleeves ride up.
Ensure that you are using the thumbholes correctly. This will prevent the sleeves from riding up and keep your hands warm.
The garment doesn't seem to be wicking moisture effectively.
Ensure the base layer is worn next to the skin or over a lightweight base layer. Avoid wearing cotton as a base layer, as it retains moisture. Consider the activity level and make sure the garment is appropriate for the conditions.
