- Is the Fire Side II warm enough for winter?
- It works as a midlayer in cold weather but is not windproof or waterproof. For freezing temperatures, wear it under a shell or a heavier insulated jacket.
- How does it compare with a regular fleece jacket?
- The sherpa pile is warmer and softer than standard smooth fleece but bulkier and less breathable. It suits casual wear better than high-output hiking.
- Does it have pockets?
- Yes. It has zippered hand pockets, which keep small items secure and add a bit of hand warmth.
- How should I wash it?
- Wash cold on a gentle cycle and tumble dry low or hang dry. Avoid fabric softener and high heat, which can mat the sherpa pile.
- Does it fit true to size?
- It generally fits true to size but runs roomy through the body. Size down if you want a closer fit or plan to wear it over thin layers only.
