Vuori Restore Oversized 1/2 Zip — Women’s Lifestyle

Q1: How does Vuori sizing run — true to size, or should I size up/down (and does it accommodate a base/mid-layer)?
The Restore Oversized 1/2 Zip is cut oversized on purpose and hits at the high hip. For reference, the model is 5'8" and wears a size S. Reviewer feedback leans slightly toward a larger fit, so stick with your usual size for the intended relaxed look, or size down if you prefer something closer to the body. The roomy cut leaves plenty of space to wear a tee or base layer underneath.

Q2: Is this half zip warm and waterproof enough for après-ski and everyday wear around Kelowna in winter?
It isn’t waterproof; it has no membrane or water-resistant treatment. The brushed-back French terry is warm and cozy for around town, in the lodge, and on cool, dry Okanagan days. When it’s snowing or well below freezing, wear an insulated or shell jacket over it. Because it’s a cotton blend, it’s better for après and casual wear than as an active layer for skiing or snowshoeing, where you’ll want fabrics that move moisture away from your body.

Q3: How do I care for French terry fleece to keep it soft and looking its best?
Machine wash cold with similar colours and tumble dry low. Don’t use fabric softener, bleach, or dry cleaning. Iron on low if needed. Waterproofing and breathability treatments don’t apply to this garment, so gentle washing and drying are all it takes to keep the brushed fleece soft.
