FAQs
What is Grid Tech fleece?
Grid Tech fleece is a type of fabric designed with a grid-like pattern internally. This structure enhances breathability and moisture management by creating channels that help move sweat away from the body more efficiently, while still providing excellent thermal insulation.
Is this garment suitable for very cold weather?
Yes, it provides good thermal insulation and is designed for outdoor activities in cooler temperatures. For extreme cold, it is best used as a mid-layer over a base layer and under a protective outer shell.
What does Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certification mean?
It means that the textile product has been tested for harmful substances and is therefore safe for human health. The certification covers the entire production process, ensuring environmental responsibility.
Can I wear this as my only layer in cold weather?
It depends on the conditions and your activity level. For moderate cold and high activity, it may suffice. For very cold weather or low activity, it's recommended to use it as a mid-layer with a base layer for optimal warmth and moisture management.
How does the half-zip opening benefit me?
The half-zip allows for quick and easy ventilation when you start to overheat, helping to regulate your body temperature without having to remove the garment. It also offers a bit of extra neck protection when fully zipped.
Is the fabric stretchy?
Yes, the garment is described as a 'stretch garment', meaning it incorporates elastane or similar materials to provide flexibility and allow for a full range of motion during activities.
How should I wash this garment?
Machine wash cold with like colors, using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Do not iron or dry clean.
Troubleshooting
Garment feels damp after activity
Ensure you are using an appropriate base layer underneath, or consider washing the garment as fabric softeners can reduce wicking efficiency. Check that the garment is not too tight, which can restrict moisture movement.
Lost elasticity or shape
Ensure the garment has been washed and dried according to the care instructions. Avoid high heat drying, which can degrade elasticity. Store folded rather than on a hanger to prevent stretching.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it persists, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.
Slightly too tight or too loose
While this garment is not adjustable, consider layering strategies. If too tight, ensure it's not overly layered underneath. If too loose, ensure you have selected the correct size; refer to sizing charts if unsure for future purchases.
