FAQs
Is this fleece suitable for very cold temperatures?
The Retro Pile Marsupial Fleece provides excellent warmth due to its double-sided shearling construction. For very cold temperatures or extreme conditions, it's best used as a warm mid-layer within a comprehensive layering system, combined with a suitable base layer and an outer shell.
What is the material of the fleece?
The fleece is made from 100% recycled polyester double-sided shearling fleece, offering both softness and environmental consciousness.
Are the pockets secure for valuables?
Yes, all pockets on this fleece – the chest pocket and the marsupial handwarmer pockets – feature secure Vislon zippers with grosgrain pulls, designed to keep your belongings safe while you're active.
How should I wash my fleece to maintain its quality?
For best results, machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Avoid bleach and harsh detergents. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry flat to prevent damage and maintain the fleece's loft and softness.
Is the fleece windproof or waterproof?
No, fleece fabric typically offers limited wind and water resistance. While it provides excellent insulation, for windy or wet conditions, it's recommended to wear a windproof or waterproof outer shell over the fleece.
Can I layer other clothing underneath this fleece?
Yes, the regular, boxy fit allows for comfortable layering over a base layer or light shirt. For a looser fit to accommodate thicker layers, consider sizing up.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels less soft or matted after washing.
Ensure you are washing on a gentle cycle with cold water and using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners with strong chemicals, and always air dry or tumble dry on the lowest heat setting. Over-drying or high heat can damage the fibers.
Zippers feel stiff or are difficult to operate.
Gently clean any debris from the zipper teeth using a small brush or damp cloth. If stiffness persists, apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (available at outdoor stores) to the teeth.
Fleece is pilling (small balls of fiber forming on the surface).
Pilling can occur with wear and friction. Use a fabric shaver or a specialized lint comb to carefully remove the pills without damaging the fabric. To prevent future pilling, wash inside out and avoid harsh friction during wear.

Care Instructions
To maintain the softness, warmth, and longevity of your fleece, follow these general care guidelines. For specific instructions, always refer to the garment's care label.
- Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with like colors. Avoid using harsh detergents or bleach, as these can damage the fleece fibers.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or, ideally, air dry flat. High heat can cause the fleece to melt, pill, or lose its loft and softness. Remove promptly when dry.
- Softness: To help maintain softness, you can add a small amount of fabric softener to the wash, but use sparingly as excessive use can reduce breathability.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid compressing the fleece for extended periods, as this can flatten the pile.
