FAQs
What is the primary purpose of the Kadley Midlayer?
The Kadley Midlayer is designed as an insulating layer for outdoor activities. It provides warmth without bulk and is effective at cutting wind chill, making it suitable for hiking, climbing, and general active wear in cooler conditions.
Can this midlayer be worn as a standalone jacket?
While it offers wind resistance, it is not a fully waterproof or windproof jacket. It is best used as a midlayer over a base layer and under a waterproof shell in wet or very windy conditions. It can serve as an outer layer in dry, cool weather.
What is the material composition?
The midlayer is made from 96% polyester and 4% elastane with a plain outer face and a tech fleece backing. The fabric weight is 180gsm.
Does it have a hood?
Yes, it features a grown-on hood with stretch binding for a snug fit.
How many pockets does it have, and are they secure?
It has two lower zippered pockets and one chest zippered pocket, all providing secure storage for essentials.
Is this product environmentally friendly?
Yes, the Kadley Midlayer is made with recycled materials, contributing to a more sustainable approach to outdoor apparel.

Troubleshooting
Zipper is sticking
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it persists, apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.
Reduced water repellency on the outer face
The smooth outer face has a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish which may diminish over time. Reapply a DWR treatment suitable for polyester blends after washing and drying, following the product's instructions.
Pilling or bobbling on the fleece lining
Pilling can occur with fleece materials over time, especially with friction. Gentle washing and avoiding abrasive contact can help. A fabric shaver can be used to carefully remove pills if they become noticeable.
Garment feels less warm than before
Ensure the tech fleece lining is clean, as dirt and oils can compress the fibers and reduce insulation. Follow the care instructions for washing. Check for any damage or wear to the fabric.
