Product Information

Full details

The Trespass Bernal Heavyweight Full Zip Fleece Jumper is designed for adult males seeking a warm, casual layer. Its key benefit is exceptional warmth provided by a heavyweight fleece, making it ideal for cooler weather. A potential caveat is that its primary focus is warmth, which may mean it's less breathable than lighter options for high-exertion activities. This jumper features a full zip front, two secure zip pockets, and an adjustable drawcord hem, all constructed from 300gsm sueded polyester fleece.

FAQs

What is the primary purpose of this fleece jumper?

The Trespass Bernal Heavyweight Full Zip Fleece Jumper is designed primarily to provide significant warmth and comfort in cool to cold weather conditions, suitable for casual wear and light outdoor activities.

What does '300gsm' refer to?

'300gsm' refers to the weight of the fabric in grams per square meter. A higher GSM generally indicates a thicker, heavier, and warmer fabric.

Can this fleece be worn as a waterproof layer?

No, this fleece is not waterproof. It is designed for warmth and can be worn as a mid-layer under a waterproof jacket, or as an outer layer in dry conditions.

Is the fleece suitable for high-intensity sports?

While it provides warmth, its heavyweight nature means it may be too warm and less breathable for high-intensity sports. It is better suited for moderate activity or casual wear.

How should I care for the sueded fleece to maintain its softness?

To maintain softness, wash in cool water with a mild detergent, avoid fabric softeners, and tumble dry on a low heat setting or air dry. Avoid ironing.

What are the benefits of the drawcord hem?

The drawcord hem allows you to tighten the bottom of the jumper, helping to seal in warmth and prevent cold air from entering, while also allowing for a customized fit.

Does this jumper come in other colors?

Yes, this model is available in a range of colors, including Black and Blue variations, to suit different preferences.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently pull any trapped fabric away. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a specific zipper lubricant to the teeth of the zipper and try moving it slowly.

Fleece feels less warm after washing.

Avoid using fabric softener, which can coat the fleece fibers and reduce their insulating properties. Wash with a mild detergent and consider air drying or tumble drying on a low setting.

Pilling on the surface of the fleece.

Pilling is a common occurrence with fleece over time. To minimize it, wash the garment inside out and avoid abrasive contact with other items. If pilling occurs, a fabric shaver can be used carefully to remove it.

Drawcord at the hem is frayed or stuck.

Check for any knots or obstructions. If frayed, a small amount of fray-stop liquid can be applied, or the ends can be carefully trimmed and re-sealed with a flame (use extreme caution). Ensure the cord channel is clear.
