FAQs
What is the main purpose of the 'Sweetness II' Fleece Gilet?
Its main purpose is to provide lightweight core warmth as a versatile midlayer for outdoor activities, suitable for various weather conditions when layered appropriately.

What is the weight of the fleece fabric?

Troubleshooting
Fleece feels rough after washing
Ensure you are using the recommended washing temperature and detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, which can affect fleece performance and texture. Air dry or tumble dry on low heat.
Pilling developing on the surface
While the fleece has an anti-pill finish, excessive friction or rough handling during washing can still cause pilling. Check washing machine load for items that might cause abrasion. Follow care instructions carefully.
Gilet feels bulky when layered
The gilet is designed to be lightweight. If it feels bulky, ensure you are not over-layering underneath. It is intended to be a moderately insulating layer, not a heavy one.
