Product background.

We where missing a piece when layering up for our adventures. All mid-layers out there all have collars or hoods. More or less every time we layered up, we ended up with at least two hoods. We simply got sick and tired of too many collars and this mid-layer was born.

Functions.

1. Snap buttons.
The snap buttons allows for great adjustments. Keep it closed on the top and ventilated below or the other way around. These buttons are Blue-sign approved.

2. Low collar.
Slightly untraditional as a fleece jacket but an extremely multifunctional piece. This jacket works really well on its own or when layering with other garments and the low collar gives you space around your neck when layering.

Materials.

Fleece came about in the late 1970 as a pursuit to find a preforming compliment to wool. It quickly became the go to material for mid-layers and one of the most beloved products for us outdoor enthusiasts. The fleece fabrics superior performance when it comes to warmth, quick drying properties and durability have all made it a must for any outdoor activity. But the drawback with fleece fabrics is the shedding of microfibres and this has never really been dealt with before.

What Polartec now have done is to really reinvent how to produce a fleece fabric. Keeping all those really great performance qualities of a normal fleece fabric but at the same time reducing the shedding of microfibres up to 80% compare to any other premium fleece fabric out there.
By capsulating the fibers in-between two layers the fibers gets trapped and prevents microfibres from shedding. This unique construction also creates a grid of pillows that helps trapping air, air that will keep you warm.

On top of this, being made form 89% recycled polyester, Blue signed approved and Oeko-tex Standard, make this fabrics as far as we know, by far, the most sustainable fleece fabric available on the market today.

Origin.

We believe that transparency plays an extremely important role. Once one fully understand the complexity of production, one can start to change it and that is why we also want to share the true story behind our products.To really understand where a product has been made you have to break it down into all its components and materials. All these materials and components are almost never produced in the same place or country as where the product is sewn.

Care.

In addition to the garment-specific wash instructions, there are some general tips that can both extend the life of the garments and save you a lot of time in the laundry room.

Air: The absolute easiest and best way to keep your garments fresh is to air them. Some materials such as merino wool have natural antibacterial properties. This means that the garment stays fresh much longer. You will be amazed at how fresh the t-shirt feels after being aired on a hanger during the night.

Focus on the stain: Did you get a stain? Focus on it. It is often that garments are washed completely unnecessarily, when you really only need to remove a small stain. In most cases, it is enough to rub a little hand dishwashing detergent with lukewarm water on the stain. Then make sure to rinse thoroughly and hang to dry.

Detergent: Use the right detergent for the right material. There are a plenty of different detergents out there, so try to find a detergent that is both gentle on the environment and your garment. Some materials are a little more delicate, such as merino wool. For these garments, we recommend Organotex wool and down wash.

Specific care instrucitons: Delicate wash inside out with similar colors at 40°C. Do not tumble dry. Do not use fabric softener. Do not bleach or dry clean.
