Troubleshooting
Fleece feels too tight or restrictive.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Check the garment's measurements against your own. If the fit is still uncomfortable, consider exchanging for a larger size.
Zippers are difficult to open or close.
Gently pull the zipper tab. If it is stuck on fabric, carefully try to free the fabric. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth for smoother operation.
Fleece is not providing enough warmth.
This fleece is designed as a mid-layer. For colder conditions, wear an appropriate base layer underneath and a warmer outer shell on top. Ensure cuffs and hem are snug to prevent drafts.
Fabric pilling after several washes.
Pilling can occur with polyester fabrics. Wash the fleece inside out on a gentle cycle with cold water. Avoid washing with abrasive items like denim. Use a fabric shaver to carefully remove pills if they appear.
