No, the fleece is bonded to an anti-pill backing, which helps it maintain its appearance and texture through repeated machine washes.

It features YKK reverse coil zippers on the center front, chest pocket, and hand pockets — known for smooth operation and durability.
Does the hood fit comfortably under a helmet?
The hood is designed as a standard athletic fit. While it can work under some ski or climbing helmets, it is not specifically helmet-compatible.
