Product Information
Full details
The Portwest Argyll Heavy Fleece is designed for professional workers and outdoor enthusiasts who require a reliable, heavyweight thermal layer in cold environments. Crafted from high-density 400g polar fleece, it provides exceptional warmth while maintaining a comfortable, anti-pill exterior that resists wear and tear. While it excels as a durable work staple, users should note that as a heavy fleece, it is primarily intended for layering or standalone use in chilly weather rather than as a lightweight technical mid-layer.

FAQs
Is this fleece windproof?
No, the Portwest Argyll is a breathable polar fleece and does not feature a windproof membrane. It is best used as a layer under a windproof jacket in extreme conditions.
What does anti-pill mean?
Anti-pill refers to a special treatment applied to the fabric that prevents the small, unsightly 'balls' of fiber from forming on the surface of the fleece.
Can I wear this in the rain?
This garment is not waterproof. If you expect rain, it is recommended to wear a waterproof shell over the top of the fleece.
Does it shrink in the wash?
When washed according to the manufacturer's instructions at 40°C, the fleece should retain its shape and size well.
Is the fit true to size?
The Portwest Argyll is designed with a generous fit specifically to accommodate layering underneath. If you prefer a snug fit, you may consider checking the size chart carefully.
Troubleshooting
Zipper feels stiff or catches
Apply a small amount of clear candle wax or a graphite pencil lead to the teeth of the zipper to lubricate the mechanism.
Fabric appears to have slight fuzz over time
While the anti-pill finish is durable, use a fabric shaver gently to remove any surface fibers that may have accumulated through extreme friction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This fleece is designed for immediate use. To maintain the integrity of the 400g polar fleece, adhere to these care instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash at a moderate temperature (usually 40°C) with similar colors.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible to preserve the fiber structure. If using a dryer, select a low-heat setting.
- Compatibility: The neutral design works well over high-visibility work shirts or standard cotton workwear.
- Storage: Store in a dry, ventilated area to ensure the fleece remains fresh between shifts.
