Sherpa Fleece Construction & Design Details
The Bandier sherpa jacket features premium high-pile polyester fleece engineered to deliver warmth without the weight of traditional wool. Our design team selected this specific sherpa weave for its ability to trap air between fibers, creating natural insulation that regulates body temperature during warm-ups and cool-downs.
Contrast zipper tape and tonal stitching add visual interest while reinforcing high-stress seams for durability through countless wash cycles. The relaxed athletic cut accommodates layering over sports bras, tanks, and long sleeves without restricting shoulder mobility. We finished the jacket with our signature logo embroidery—a subtle nod to the Bandier woman who values both performance and style in every piece she wears.
Sizing Guide & Fit Profile
We designed the Bandier sherpa with a relaxed, slightly oversized fit that layers beautifully without looking bulky. Most customers find their true size offers room to move freely over fitted activewear, while still maintaining a tailored silhouette that doesn’t overwhelm smaller frames.
The jacket measures approximately 25 inches from high point shoulder to hem in size Medium, with a 22-inch chest width when laid flat. Ribbed cuffs and hem provide gentle structure that keeps the jacket in place during movement without elastic tightness. If you prefer a closer, more fitted look for high-intensity activities, we recommend sizing down one size.
Care Instructions & Fabric Longevity
Machine wash your Bandier sherpa jacket in cold water on a gentle cycle to preserve the plush texture of the fleece pile. We recommend turning the jacket inside out before washing and avoiding fabric softeners, which can coat fibers and reduce the fabric’s natural softness over time.
Tumble dry on low heat or lay flat to air dry—high heat can damage the polyester fibers and cause shrinkage in the ribbed trim. If pilling occurs after extended wear (common with all sherpa fabrics), use a fabric shaver or sweater comb to gently remove pills and restore the smooth surface texture.

Your Questions About the Bandier Sherpa Jacket
The Bandier sherpa jacket runs true to size with a relaxed, slightly oversized fit designed for layering over activewear. It offers more room through the body than our fitted puffer jackets but maintains a tailored silhouette through the shoulders and sleeves.
If you prefer a closer fit for high-intensity activities, we recommend sizing down. For maximum coziness and room to layer thick hoodies underneath, stick with your usual size or size up one.
Yes, the Bandier sherpa is fully machine washable. Wash in cold water on a gentle cycle, turning the jacket inside out to protect the exterior fleece pile. Tumble dry on low heat or lay flat to air dry—avoid high heat settings that can damage polyester fibers.
Skip fabric softeners, which can coat the sherpa texture and reduce softness over time. We recommend washing every 4-6 wears to maintain the plush feel and prevent dirt buildup in the fleece pile.
The Bandier sherpa jacket provides excellent insulation for temperatures between 35-55°F, making it ideal for cool-weather activities like outdoor yoga, brisk walks, and light jogs. The high-pile sherpa fleece traps body heat effectively while allowing moisture to escape, so you stay warm without overheating.
For colder conditions below 35°F or wind-chill situations, we recommend layering the sherpa under our water-resistant puffer jacket for maximum warmth. The sherpa works best as a mid-layer in extreme cold or as a standalone piece during milder winter days.
We currently offer the Bandier sherpa jacket in a versatile neutral colorway that complements every piece in your activewear wardrobe. The shade pairs beautifully with both bold and neutral tones, from classic blacks and grays to vibrant jewel tones.
We periodically introduce seasonal colorways based on customer feedback and current trends. Sign up for our email list to receive notifications when new colors launch, and follow us on social media for early access to limited-edition releases.
Our sherpa fleece is engineered for durability with minimal shedding or pilling under normal wear and care. You may notice slight pilling in high-friction areas (underarms, sides) after extended use, which is common with all sherpa fabrics and easily removed with a fabric shaver.
To minimize pilling, turn the jacket inside out before washing, avoid washing with abrasive fabrics like denim or towels, and tumble dry on low heat only. Proper care ensures your jacket maintains its plush texture and smooth appearance through hundreds of wears.
Absolutely—the Bandier sherpa jacket is designed for versatility beyond the studio. Our customers wear it for casual errands, coffee runs, travel, and cozy nights at home. The elevated design with contrast detailing and signature branding makes it stylish enough for street wear while maintaining the comfort of loungewear.
Pair it with jeans and boots for weekend outings, or layer it over matching joggers for a coordinated athleisure look. The sherpa’s luxe texture and tailored fit ensure you look polished whether you’re heading to the gym or meeting friends for brunch.
The jacket measures approximately 25 inches from shoulder to hem in size Medium, designed to hit at the hip for optimal coverage and layering. The hip-length cut covers your waistband when paired with high-waisted leggings or joggers, while the subtle drop-tail back hem adds extra coverage during movement.
For reference, our 5’7″ fit model wears size Small and the hem lands just below her hip bone. Taller customers (5’9″ and above) may find the jacket hits slightly higher, while petite frames (5’4″ and under) will see it land closer to mid-hip.
