FAQs
What is the primary material of this fleece?
The primary material is 100% polyester Sherpa pile, known for its exceptional softness and warmth.
Is this fleece suitable for very cold weather?
It provides good warmth as a mid-layer or for mild cold. For extreme cold, it is recommended to layer it under a waterproof and windproof outer jacket.
How do I know what size to order?
Please consult the Columbia youth sizing chart available with the product details. Measure your child's chest, waist, and height for the best fit.
Can this fleece be worn by both boys and girls?
Yes, this is a unisex youth fleece designed for all children, featuring a classic cut that suits everyone.
How should I clean the fleece to keep it soft?
Machine wash in cold water on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Tumble dry on low or air dry. Avoid bleach and ironing.
What does 'contrast binding' refer to?
Contrast binding refers to the trim along the edges (like cuffs, hem, or collar) that is a different color than the main body of the fleece, adding a visual design element.
Does the pattern on the fleece vary?
The product description mentions 'Printed Fleece' and 'Striped' or 'Geometric' patterns are available in sibling products. It's advisable to check the specific product image or description for the exact pattern of the blue size S variant.
Troubleshooting
Fleece appears less soft after washing.
Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoiding fabric softeners, which can reduce the fluffiness of Sherpa fleece. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry.
Zipper/Snap is stiff.
Gently work the snap a few times. If it persists, ensure the fabric around the snap is not bunched up. For zippers, check for fabric obstructions and use a graphite pencil or wax to lubricate.
Sizing seems incorrect.
Refer to the specific size chart provided for Columbia youth apparel to ensure accurate measurements. Consider the intended layering; if wearing over bulkier items, a size up might be considered.
