Product Information
Full details
The Craghoppers Womens Miska VI Half Zip Fleece is designed for adult women seeking a comfortable, versatile, and eco-conscious layering piece for everyday wear and outdoor activities. Its key benefit is providing lightweight warmth and easy care, making it a practical choice for varying temperatures. A minor caveat is its reliance on a half-zip, which may not offer the same adjustability as a full zip for rapid cooling. This microfleece top is a best-seller known for its soft-touch feel and classic design, featuring a half-zip fastening for convenience. Made from 100% polyester and crafted from approximately 12 recycled bottles, it's an insulating, easy-care, and environmentally friendly option that's durable and long-lasting.

FAQs
What is the main benefit of the half-zip design?
The half-zip allows for easy on-and-off and provides adjustable ventilation. You can zip it up for warmth or partially unzip it to release heat when you become warmer.
How many recycled bottles are used to make this fleece?
Each fleece is crafted from approximately 12 recycled bottles, contributing to environmental sustainability.
Can this fleece be worn as an outer layer in rain?
The Miska VI Half Zip Fleece is primarily designed as an insulating layer. While it offers some protection against light wind, it is not waterproof and would require an outer shell for significant rain protection.
Is this fleece suitable for high-intensity activities like running?
While lightweight and breathable to an extent, 100% polyester fleece may not offer the optimal moisture-wicking and breathability for very high-intensity activities compared to specialized athletic wear. It is best suited for moderate activity, hiking, and casual wear.
What does 'easy-care' mean for this product?
'Easy-care' signifies that the fleece is designed for simple maintenance. It can be machine washed and tumble dried on low heat, and it resists wrinkling and shrinking, making it convenient to look after.
What material is the fleece made from?
The fleece is made from 100% polyester, specifically a soft-touch microfleece.
Can I wear this fleece in very cold winter conditions?
For very cold conditions, it's recommended to layer the fleece. Wear it over a base layer and under a warm, insulated, and windproof outer jacket for optimal warmth and protection.
Troubleshooting
Fleece loses its softness after washing.
Avoid using fabric softeners. Wash with similar colors on a gentle cycle and air dry or tumble dry on low heat.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Ensure the fabric around the zipper is flat. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If still stiff, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) rubbed on the zipper teeth can help lubricate it.
Fleece is not warm enough in very cold weather.
Use the fleece as a mid-layer. Combine it with a warm base layer underneath and a windproof or waterproof outer shell for maximum protection against the elements.
Pilling or fuzz balls appear on the surface.
Some minor pilling can occur with fleece over time. Washing the garment inside out can help minimize this. Avoid washing with abrasive materials like denim.

Care Instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash at 30°C (86°F) on a gentle cycle with similar colors.
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can reduce the fleece's insulating properties.
