FAQs
What is the main benefit of the anti-pilling finish?
The anti-pilling finish helps to prevent small balls of fiber from forming on the surface of the fabric, keeping the fleece looking smoother and newer for longer, even after repeated washing and wear.
Is this fleece warm enough for winter?
The fleece is lightweight and insulated, making it suitable for mild to cool weather. For colder winter conditions, it is best used as a mid-layer combined with a heavier coat or jacket.
How do I determine my UK size?
The product description provides a size chart that lists UK sizes with corresponding chest measurements in inches (e.g., UK size 8 corresponds to a 32-inch chest).
Can I wear this for high-intensity sports?
While the fleece is breathable and lightweight, it's primarily designed for casual wear and moderate outdoor activities. For high-intensity sports, you might prefer specialized athletic wear.
What is the GSM of the fleece?
The fleece is 170gsm (grams per square meter), indicating a lighter-weight fabric suitable for layering.
Does the fleece have pockets?
Based on the description, this particular fleece top does not mention having pockets.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels stiff after washing
Ensure you are following the low heat tumble dry instructions. Avoid using fabric softeners which can affect the anti-pilling properties.
Pilling has started to appear
While the fleece has an anti-pilling finish, excessive friction or harsh washing can still cause minor pilling. Try washing inside out and using a gentle cycle.
Zipper is difficult to move
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently pull the fabric away from the zipper teeth and try again. Lubricating the zipper with a graphite pencil (rubbing the lead on the teeth) can sometimes help.
