Learn how to wash and care for your AIM'N Sense Zip Jacket in Dark Clay or Ballerina so the peachy-soft fabric stays smooth and pill-free.
Quick answer
Wash your Sense Zip Jacket inside out in cold water on a gentle cycle, then air dry flat. This protects the peachy-soft Sense fabric and prevents pilling, especially on darker shades like Dark Clay and lighter tones like Ballerina.
Why the zip and fabric need special handling
The Sense Zip Jacket has a two-way zip and a ventilated back yoke, which add function but also create edges that can snag or rub in the wash. Turning the jacket inside out and closing the zip protects both the fabric surface and the zipper mechanism.
The Sense fabric is described as peachy soft, which often means a fine, smooth surface that is more prone to friction damage than a rugged outer layer. That is why a gentle cycle and avoiding high heat matter more than with a basic cotton sweatshirt.
When pilling happens and what you can do
Pilling is not a sign of poor quality; it is friction between the fabric and other surfaces. If you notice small fuzz balls, remove them with a fabric shaver or a fine-tooth comb using light strokes. Do not pull them off, as that can stretch the fibers.
To reduce future pilling, wash the jacket alone or with other smooth fabrics, and avoid velcro, zippers, or rough textures in the same load.
How to wash your Sense Zip Jacket step by step
- Prep the jacket: Close the two-way zip completely and turn the jacket inside out. Fasten any thumbholes or pockets if they have closures. An open zip can snag the fabric or damage the drum; always zip up before washing.
- Choose the right cycle: Machine wash cold on a gentle or delicate cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softener and bleach. Hot water and harsh chemicals break down the soft Sense fibers faster; cold water is safer.
- Skip the dryer: Lay the jacket flat to air dry, reshaping it gently. Do not wring or twist. High heat from a dryer can shrink or damage the fabric and set wrinkles; air drying preserves the fit.
- Handle pilling promptly: If pills appear, use a fabric shaver or fine-tooth comb with light pressure. Work in one direction. Pulling or picking at pills can create pulls; gentle removal keeps the surface even.
Product facts
- Dark Clay Sense Zip Jacket: Crafted from peachy soft Sense fabric with a two-way zip and ventilated back yoke. The soft fabric needs gentle washing to stay smooth, and the two-way zip should be fully closed to avoid snagging.
Dark Clay Sense Zip Jacket - Ballerina Sense Zip Jacket: Ballerina colorway in the same Sense Zip Jacket construction with two zipped hand pockets and thumbholes. Lighter colors show friction marks and pilling more easily, so extra care when washing and drying helps maintain a clean look.
