Microfleece Construction
The Arcca is built from a microfleece fabric that provides comfortable warmth without the bulk associated with heavier fleece garments. This makes it particularly versatile as an everyday layer, whether worn independently during cooler conditions or underneath a shell when additional insulation is required.
Picture describes the Arcca as a fleece designed for everyday adventures and for staying warm and comfortable, making it a useful option beyond dedicated winter sports use.
Dry Now Moisture Management
Picture’s Dry Now technology is designed to move moisture away from the skin and towards the outside of the fabric, where it can evaporate more quickly. The system uses a blend of hydrophilic and hydrophobic recycled polyester fibres to help manage moisture during activity.
For an active midlayer, this gives the Arcca an advantage over a purely casual fleece. When you’re hiking, travelling, walking around the resort or simply becoming warmer through activity, Dry Now helps manage perspiration and maintain a more comfortable microclimate.
Dry Feel Antimicrobial Treatment
The Arcca also features Dry Feel antimicrobial treatment, designed to help control odour during use. This complements the moisture-wicking properties of Dry Now and makes the fleece well suited to active everyday use.
Together, the moisture-management and antimicrobial technologies give the Arcca a more technical character than a conventional casual fleece while retaining its comfortable, easy-to-wear construction.
Half-Front Snap Opening
Rather than using a full-length zip, the Arcca features a half-front opening with snap fasteners. This gives the fleece its distinctive pullover construction while providing a simple way to adjust airflow around the upper body.
The snap opening can also make layering straightforward, allowing the fleece to be opened when extra ventilation is required or closed to retain warmth.
Warm High Collar
A warm high collar provides additional coverage around the neck, helping reduce exposure to cold air when temperatures fall. It can be worn closed for greater warmth or opened at the front when you need additional ventilation.
The high collar also works particularly well with the fleece’s half-front opening, creating a practical combination for changing conditions.
Zipped Chest Pocket
A zipped chest pocket provides secure storage for smaller essentials. Its position keeps frequently accessed items close to hand while maintaining the clean, straightforward construction of the fleece.
For everyday use, the pocket is useful for items such as keys, cards or other small accessories that you want to keep secure while moving around.
Regular Fit
The Arcca uses a regular fit, offering a comfortable balance between freedom of movement and easy layering. The cut makes the fleece suitable for wearing on its own while also leaving room for it to function as a midlayer beneath a larger outer jacket.
This versatility is central to the Arcca’s design, allowing it to transition between outdoor activity, travel and everyday wear.
Elastic Collar & Cuff Binding
Elastic binding around the collar and cuffs provides a clean finish while helping the garment sit comfortably against the body. The cuffs help maintain a secure sleeve opening, while the collar binding contributes to the fleece’s comfortable fit around the neck.
These simple construction details help the Arcca retain its practical, easy-wearing character.
Circular Polyester Construction
The Arcca is made from 100% Circular Polyester, forming part of Picture’s approach to using recycled materials across its range.
Picture’s Circular polyester is made from 60% production waste and 40% used clothing, with the company stating that the resulting material delivers technical performance comparable to conventional polyester while reducing its COâ‚‚ impact.
This makes the Arcca a practical example of Picture’s attempt to combine everyday outdoor functionality with a more circular approach to material sourcing.
Everyday & Outdoor Performance
The Arcca is designed as a versatile fleece rather than a highly specialised expedition layer. Its combination of microfleece warmth, Dry Now moisture management and antimicrobial treatment makes it suitable for a broad range of uses.
Wear it as a standalone layer on cool days, use it underneath a waterproof ski or hiking jacket, or pack it as a dependable additional layer for travel. Its relatively lightweight construction makes it easy to integrate into a wider layering system without taking up excessive space.
