Product Information
Full details
The Portwest Argyll Heavy Fleece is designed for professionals and outdoor enthusiasts who require a durable, insulating layer for cold work environments. Crafted from 400g heavyweight polar fleece, it offers exceptional warmth and durability, making it ideal for layering or standalone use. While it provides excellent thermal protection, users should note that it is not windproof or waterproof, meaning it may require an additional shell in extreme weather conditions.

FAQs
Is this fleece windproof?
No, while the 400g weight provides substantial warmth, the fleece is not designed to be windproof or waterproof.
How should I clean my fleece to maintain the anti-pill finish?
Wash the garment inside out in cold water with mild detergent and avoid using fabric softeners, which can coat the fibers and reduce performance.
Can I wear this under a rain jacket?
Yes, it is designed to serve as an effective insulating mid-layer when paired with a waterproof outer shell.
Does the fleece shrink after washing?
When washed according to the care label instructions and dried naturally, the polyester material is highly resistant to shrinking.
Are the pockets large enough for a smartphone?
Yes, the two zipped side pockets are sized to securely hold standard-sized smartphones and everyday carry tools.
Troubleshooting
Fabric beginning to show small fiber balls
Use a fabric shaver to remove surface pilling; ensure you are following the recommended cool wash cycle to prevent future accumulation.
Zip feels stiff or sticks
Apply a small amount of dry lubricant or rub a pencil lead over the teeth to improve the sliding mechanism.
Drawcord not staying in place
Check the tensioning toggle for debris; clean the toggle mechanism to ensure the spring catch is fully engaging the cord.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The Portwest Argyll Fleece requires no specialized setup. To ensure the longest product lifespan, machine wash the garment on a cool setting, avoiding harsh detergents that may damage the anti-pill treatment. Do not tumble dry, as the heat can affect the fleece's loft and shape; instead, hang to dry. Given its design, this fleece is fully compatible with most standard high-visibility shells or waterproof work jackets for a complete modular layering system.
