Product Information
Full details
The Berghaus Asterby Fleece is designed for adult females seeking a comfortable and insulating mid-layer for outdoor activities. Its key benefit is the excellent warmth provided by Knitlock fabric, enhanced by flatlock seams for a bulk-free, comfortable fit. A potential consideration is its primary function as a mid-layer, requiring a shell jacket for full weather protection. Key features include its durable polyester construction, compatibility with Berghaus InterActive shells, secure zipped hand pockets, and soft bound edges for next-to-skin comfort.

FAQs
What is the primary purpose of this fleece?
The Berghaus Asterby Fleece is designed as a warm, insulating mid-layer for outdoor activities. It can be worn on its own or zipped into a compatible Berghaus InterActive shell jacket for enhanced weather protection.
How do I ensure the InterActive zip works correctly?
The fleece must be paired with a Berghaus jacket featuring the corresponding InterActive zip and attachment points. Ensure both garments are correctly aligned and fully zipped for a secure connection.
Can this fleece be worn as an outer layer?
While it provides warmth, it is not waterproof or windproof. It is best suited as a mid-layer for insulation under a waterproof and windproof shell jacket in adverse weather conditions.
What material is the fleece made from?
The fleece is made from 100% Polyester, featuring Knitlock fabric for effective insulation.
How should I wash the fleece?
Machine wash at 40°C with a mild detergent. Do not bleach, tumble dry, or iron. Close all zippers before washing and wash dark and light colours separately.
Are the pockets secure?
Yes, the fleece features two zipped hand pockets to securely store your essentials.
What does 'flatlock seams' mean for comfort?
Flatlock seams lie flat against the fabric, reducing bulk and eliminating potential irritation points. This enhances comfort, especially when layered under other clothing or worn for extended periods.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.
Ensure the zipper is clear of fabric and debris. Gently pull the zipper while holding the fabric taut. If still stiff, apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or wax to the zipper teeth.
Fleece feels less warm than usual.
Check for and clean any lint or debris trapped in the fabric weave, as this can reduce insulating properties. Ensure it is completely dry before use.
InterActive zip not connecting properly.
Verify that both the fleece and the shell jacket are Berghaus InterActive compatible models. Ensure both zippers are fully zipped and aligned correctly before attempting to connect them.
