FAQs

What materials is the Newark Eco 1/4 Zip Grid Fleece made from?

It is made from 88% Recycled Polyester and 12% Viscose, offering a blend of warmth, comfort, and sustainability.

How should I wash this fleece?

Machine wash at 30°C. Do not bleach, iron, or dry clean. It's recommended to wash inside out and air dry for best results.

Is this fleece suitable for very cold weather?

The geometric grid weave is designed for excellent heat retention, making it a good insulating layer. For very cold weather, it is best used as a mid-layer with a suitable outer shell for protection against wind and moisture.

What is 'grid fleece'?

Grid fleece refers to a specific fabric construction with raised grids and channels. This design efficiently traps air within the channels, providing superior warmth and breathability while reducing the overall weight of the fabric compared to traditional fleece.

Does this product contain recycled materials?

Yes, a significant portion of the material is 88% Recycled Polyester, contributing to its eco-friendly designation.

What type of neckline does this fleece have?

This particular variant features a Polo neckline, complemented by a 1/4 zip closure for adjustable comfort and style.

Can I tumble dry the fleece?

While it's best to air dry to protect the fabric, if you must tumble dry, use a very low heat setting to prevent damage or shrinking. High heat should be avoided.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels less warm over time.

Ensure the fleece is clean, as accumulated dirt and oils can reduce its insulating properties. Regular washing at 30°C can help restore its thermal performance. Also, consider your layering strategy; ensure you have appropriate base layers.

Fabric appears damaged or shrunk after washing.

Always strictly follow the care instructions: 30° Machine Wash. Washing at higher temperatures or tumble drying on high heat can cause irreversible damage or shrinkage to the polyester and viscose blend.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to operate.

Check the zipper teeth for any trapped debris or fabric. Gently clean the teeth. If still stiff, you can try rubbing a pencil (graphite) along the zipper teeth to provide lubrication, or use a specific zipper lubricant.

Pilling (small balls of fiber) appears on the surface.

Pilling can occur with fleece over time and friction. To minimize it, wash the garment inside out and avoid washing it with rougher fabrics. If pilling occurs, a fabric shaver or lint roller can carefully remove the pills.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent insulation and warmth retention due to grid fleece design
  • Eco-friendly composition with a high percentage of recycled polyester
  • Versatile 1/4 zip allows for temperature regulation and easy wear
  • Stylish geometric pattern and contrasting inner neck details
  • Suitable as an outer layer in mild conditions or a mid-layer in colder weather

Cons

  • Requires specific care (30°C machine wash) to maintain fabric integrity
  • Fleece material may not be fully windproof or waterproof on its own

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

The Weird Fish Newark Eco 1/4 Zip Grid Fleece requires no special setup. Simply unpackage and it's ready to wear.

Compatibility

This fleece is designed for adults and is highly compatible with a range of casual and outdoor wardrobes. It pairs well with:

  • T-shirts and long-sleeved tops as an insulating layer.
  • Jeans, chinos, or outdoor trousers for a complete look.
  • Waterproof or windproof outer shells for multi-layer protection in harsh weather.

Care Instructions

Proper care is crucial to maintain the performance and longevity of your fleece. Follow these guidelines:

  • Machine Wash: Wash at 30°C. Using a cooler temperature helps protect the recycled fibers and prevents shrinking or damage.
  • Detergent: Use a mild detergent.
  • Drying: Air dry whenever possible. Avoid high heat from tumble dryers, as this can damage the fleece fibers and reduce its insulating properties. If using a tumble dryer, use a low heat setting.
  • Bleach: Do not bleach.
  • Ironing: Do not iron.
  • Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean.
  • Wash Inside Out: To protect the outer surface and reduce pilling, it's recommended to wash the fleece inside out.
