FAQs

What temperature range is this jacket best suited for?

The Glacier Fleece Jacket is ideal for cool to mild temperatures, generally between 50-65°F (10-18°C). It functions best as a layering piece for colder conditions.

Is this jacket waterproof?

No, the fleece material is water-resistant but not waterproof. For protection against rain or snow, it should be worn under a waterproof outer shell.

How do I find the right size?

Refer to standard women's sizing charts. The jacket offers a comfortable fit, but for a more relaxed feel, consider sizing up.

Can I wear this jacket for high-intensity activities?

While it offers freedom of movement, it is best suited for moderate activities. For high-intensity workouts, breathability might be limited compared to specialized athletic wear.

What is the primary material of this jacket?

The jacket is primarily made of high-quality fleece, providing warmth and comfort.

How often should I wash my fleece jacket?

Wash as needed. Over-washing can reduce the fleece's loft and softness, so try to spot clean minor stains when possible.

Troubleshooting

Fleece appears matted or less soft after washing.

Avoid using fabric softener. Tumble dry on a low setting with a clean tennis ball or dryer balls to help restore fluffiness.

Zipper is difficult to move.

Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If fabric is caught, carefully pull the fabric away from the zipper teeth. Lubricate the zipper with a graphite pencil (rubbing the tip along the teeth) or a small amount of wax if it continues to stick.

Excessive pilling on the surface.

Pilling is normal for fleece with extended use. Use a fabric shaver or a lint roller to gently remove pills. Wash inside out and avoid abrasive materials in the same wash load.
