Full details

FAQs
Is this fleece windproof?
While the heavyweight 400g fleece offers excellent warmth, it is not specifically treated as windproof. It is best used as a mid-layer on very windy days.
What does EN 14058 Class 1 mean?
This is a European certification for protective clothing used in cool environments, ensuring the garment meets specific standards for thermal insulation and breathability.
Can I wash this in a standard washing machine?
Yes, you can machine wash this fleece, but we recommend low-temperature settings to avoid damaging the polyester fibers.
Does it have an inside pocket?
The Portwest Argyll fleece features two exterior zipped pockets for secure storage, but does not include interior pockets.
Is the size chart accurate?
The fleece has a 'generous fit'. If you prefer a tighter or more form-fitting look, you may want to consider sizing down from your usual size.
Will the material shrink in the dryer?
To prevent shrinking, it is best to avoid tumble drying. If you must, use the lowest heat setting available.
Troubleshooting
Fabric looks worn or fuzzy after a few washes
Ensure you are following the wash instructions strictly. While the fleece is anti-pill, avoiding high heat and abrasive wash cycles is essential to maintaining the finish.
Drawcord is stuck
Check the cord housing for debris or tangles. Gently pull the drawcord through to ensure the mechanism is not obstructed by fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Portwest Argyll Fleece in top condition, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash at low temperatures to preserve the fleece fibers. Avoid using harsh bleaching agents.
