Full details

FAQs
Is this fleece suitable for very cold weather?
The Corey VI Half Zip Fleece provides excellent warmth as a mid-layer. For very cold conditions, it is best worn in combination with a suitable base layer and a protective outer shell to guard against wind and moisture.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the product sizing chart provided by Craghoppers. The 'M' size indicates a Medium fit for men. Consider whether you prefer a snug fit for layering or a looser fit.
Can this fleece be worn as an outer layer?
While it offers warmth, it is primarily designed as an insulating mid-layer. It does not offer significant wind or water resistance, so it may not be sufficient as a sole outer layer in adverse weather conditions.
What does 'part made from recycling plastic bottles' mean?
This means a portion of the polyester material used in the fleece has been derived from recycled plastic bottles. This process helps to reduce waste and lower the environmental footprint of the garment.
How should I wash the fleece to maintain its properties?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C with similar colours. Use a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low or hang dry. Do not iron.
Is the blue colour true to the images?
Colour representation can vary slightly based on screen settings and lighting. The 'Blue' colourway is a standard shade, and you can refer to product images for the closest visual representation.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels less warm than expected.
Ensure the fleece is clean, as dirt and oils can impair insulation. Avoid using fabric softeners in the wash. Check if an outer layer is needed for wind or water protection.
Pilling or bobbling on the fabric surface.
Pilling can occur with synthetic fleece. Wash inside out on a gentle cycle and avoid excessive abrasion. Use a fabric shaver gently if needed, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.
Ensure the fabric around the zipper is not caught. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Move the zipper up and down slowly to distribute the lubricant.
