FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

No, this jacket is not fully waterproof. It offers moisture resistance, meaning it can handle light rain and damp conditions, but for heavy or prolonged rain, you should wear a waterproof outer shell over it.

What material is the jacket made from?

The jacket is made from 100% polyester, providing warmth, durability, and moisture-wicking properties.

How should I wash this jacket?

You can machine wash it at a maximum temperature of 40°C with similar colours. Do not use bleach, do not iron, and do not dry clean. Tumble dry on low or air dry.

Does it have pockets?

Yes, it features concealed zip hand pockets to keep your essentials secure.

Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?

While it provides reliable warmth, for very cold weather, it is best used as a mid-layer underneath a warmer, insulated, or windproof outer jacket to ensure adequate protection.

Is this jacket suitable for active sports like running?

Its lightweight and breathable nature makes it suitable for moderate activity. However, for high-intensity running, you might prefer a more specialized garment designed for extreme moisture wicking and ventilation specific to running.

What is the fit of the jacket?

The jacket has a regular fit, designed for comfortable movement and easy layering without being too tight or too loose.

Troubleshooting

Jacket doesn't feel warm enough in cold conditions.

The Glacier Fleece is designed as a layer. Ensure you're wearing appropriate base layers underneath and consider adding a windproof or insulated outer shell for colder temperatures or windy conditions.

Zipper feels stiff or gets stuck.

Periodically clean the zipper teeth with a small brush to remove debris. If still stiff, rub a graphite pencil along the teeth to lubricate them, or use a specialized zipper lubricant.

Fabric appears to be pilling (small balls of fiber on the surface).

Pilling can occur with friction. To minimize, wash inside out and avoid washing with abrasive items. If pilling occurs, gently remove with a fabric shaver or a lint brush.

Jacket doesn't repel moisture as effectively as expected.

The jacket offers moisture resistance, not full waterproofing. For heavy rain or prolonged exposure to wet conditions, an additional waterproof outer layer is necessary. Ensure proper care, as built-up dirt can also reduce water repellency.
