Full details

This Craghoppers Esk II Half Zip Fleece Top in Black, size S, is designed for adults seeking a practical and insulating mid-layer for cooler weather. Its key benefit is its ability to provide warmth through its microfleece construction and insulating fabric technology.

FAQs

What is the primary purpose of this fleece top?

The Craghoppers Esk II Fleece Top is designed as an insulating mid-layer to provide warmth in cooler conditions, suitable for outdoor activities and casual wear.

How do I know if this size S will fit me?

The size S for this garment corresponds to a 38-inch chest measurement. Please refer to the sizing chart in the product description for detailed measurements.

Can this fleece be worn as an outer layer?

While it provides warmth, it is best suited as a mid-layer. For very cold or windy conditions, it is recommended to wear a windproof or waterproof outer jacket over it.

Is the material environmentally friendly?

Yes, the fabric is made from 60% recycled polyester and 40% polyester, incorporating sustainable materials into its construction.

How should I wash this fleece to maintain its quality?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle at a low temperature (e.g., 30-40 degrees Celsius) and consider air drying or tumble drying on low heat. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach.

Does the front pocket have a secure closure?

Yes, the single front pocket features a zip closure to keep your essentials, such as keys or a phone, secure.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels less warm after washing

Ensure you are not using fabric softeners, as they can reduce the insulating properties of fleece. Air dry the fleece instead of using a tumble dryer on high heat.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use

Gently pull the zipper up and down a few times. You can apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.

Fabric is pilling

Pilling is common with fleece. You can use a fabric shaver or a fine-tooth comb to gently remove small pills. Avoid vigorous rubbing during washing and drying.
