Troubleshooting

Zipper feels stiff or catches

Ensure no fleece fibers are caught in the track and rub a small amount of paraffin wax or a graphite pencil lead along the teeth to lubricate.

Pilling on the surface of the fleece

Use a fabric shaver or a fine-toothed comb to gently remove pills after washing to restore the appearance of the garment.

Care Instructions:

  1. Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle to protect the fleece fibers.
  2. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can impede the moisture-wicking capabilities of the fabric.

  4. Do not iron or dry clean.
