Ensure appropriate layering. This jacket is an excellent mid-layer. Add a warm base layer underneath or a windproof/waterproof outer shell over it, depending on the weather conditions.

Check if any fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to free it. If the issue persists, a small amount of zipper lubricant (like zipper wax or a graphite pencil rubbed on the teeth) can help. Clean any dirt or debris from the zipper.

Pilling can occur with friction. To minimize pilling, wash the jacket inside out on a gentle cycle, use mild detergent, and avoid fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low or air dry. A fabric shaver can be used to carefully remove existing pills.

This fleece jacket is not waterproof. It is designed for insulation in dry conditions. For protection against rain, an additional waterproof shell jacket should be worn over the fleece.
