Buying Tips

Check the fabric weight: Weights above 300g offer better quality and structure, making the garment less likely to go limp or lose its shape.
Check the hood lining: For fleece-lined versions, ensure the hood is also lined with fleece.
Washing & Drying: Wash inside out in cold water to minimize pilling and fading.
