FAQs
What is the primary material of the Glacier 1/4 Zip Fleece?
The fleece is made from 100% Polyester, providing warmth and durability.
How should I determine my size?
The fleece is designed for a regular fit and runs true to size. It is recommended to order your usual size. Refer to the brand's size chart for specific measurements.
Is this fleece suitable for very cold weather?
It is warm for moderate conditions and excellent for layering. For extreme cold, it is best used as a mid-layer under a more robust outer shell.
Can I wear this for high-intensity activities like running?
While it offers some breathability, it is primarily designed for casual wear and moderate activity. For intense workouts, a technical fabric designed for moisture-wicking would be more appropriate.
How do I wash and care for the fleece?
Machine wash cold with like colors on a gentle cycle and tumble dry on low heat. Avoid bleach and ironing.
Does this fleece have pockets?
The product description does not mention pockets. It features a quarter-zip fastening and a funnel neck.
What colors and sizes are available?
This specific product is pink and available in size XS. Other colors and sizes may be available as separate product listings.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels stiff after washing
Ensure you are using a mild detergent and not excessive amounts. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can degrade polyester fibers over time. Tumble dry on low heat.
Pilling on the fabric surface
Pilling is common with fleece. Reduce friction by washing inside out. Avoid washing with abrasive materials like denim. You can use a fabric shaver to carefully remove pills.
Zipper is difficult to pull
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper track. Gently pull the fabric away. If the zipper still sticks, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a wax-based lubricant can help.
