FAQs
What is 'grid fleece'?
Grid fleece is a type of fabric with a raised grid pattern on the inside. This structure creates small air pockets that trap heat, enhancing insulation and helping to wick moisture away from the body.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the Weird Fish size chart provided on the product page or in the general sizing information. Measure your chest and waist and compare them to the chart for the best fit.
Can this fleece be worn as an outer layer in light rain?
The Newark 1/4 Zip Grid Fleece is designed primarily for warmth and comfort. It is not waterproof and will not provide protection against rain. It is best used as a mid-layer or for dry, cool conditions.
How should I care for the metal fish zip pull?
The metal zip pull can be cleaned with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
Is this fleece suitable for very cold weather?
For very cold conditions, this fleece is an excellent mid-layer. It provides significant warmth but may require additional layers, such as a waterproof and insulated outer jacket, for extreme cold.
What is the main difference between this and a regular fleece?
The key difference is the 'grid' construction, which enhances the thermal properties and breathability compared to a standard smooth-faced fleece.
Does the contrasting inner neck affect comfort?
The contrasting inner neck is typically made of a soft material and is designed not to interfere with comfort. It's a design feature rather than a functional element impacting wearability.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels less warm than before.
Ensure you are not using fabric softener during washing, as it can coat the fleece fibers and reduce their insulating properties. Wash according to care instructions with a mild detergent.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush. You can also apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth for smoother operation.
Pilling on the fleece surface.
Pilling is a common occurrence with fleece. To minimize it, wash inside out and avoid abrasive contact. For existing pilling, a fabric shaver can be used carefully.
Garment feels tight or restrictive.
Check the size guide carefully before purchasing. If the garment is already owned, ensure it was washed and dried according to the care instructions, as improper drying can sometimes cause shrinkage.
