FAQs
Is this fleece suitable for heavy rain?
No, the Oxara Hooded Fleece is made of polyester and does not have a waterproof coating. It should be worn as a mid-layer under a waterproof jacket in wet conditions.
How does the sizing run?
This garment features a relaxed fit. If you prefer a more tailored look, you may want to consider this when selecting your size.
Can I put this in the dryer?
Yes, it can be tumble dried on a low heat setting, though air drying is recommended to extend the life of the fleece.
Is the hood adjustable?
The hood provides a comfortable, standard fit, but does not include drawstrings for tight adjustment.
What is the best way to store the fleece?
Fold it neatly or hang it on a wide hanger to maintain the shape of the shoulders and hem.
Troubleshooting
Pilling on fabric surface
Use a fabric shaver or gentle pilling comb to remove surface lint caused by friction.
Loss of shape in cuffs
Avoid over-stretching the ribbed cuffs and ensure the garment is laid flat when drying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This fleece is a standalone garment that integrates well with various North Face shells or rain jackets if additional weather protection is required. To maintain the material's softness and structural integrity, follow these care steps: machine wash in cold water using a mild detergent. Avoid using harsh bleach or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the synthetic fibers. Tumble dry on a low heat setting or, preferably, line dry to preserve the longevity of the fabric and the ribbed cuffs.
