FAQs

Is this fleece jacket suitable for heavy rain?

No, the Yumiori Full Zip Fleece is not waterproof. It is designed to provide warmth and breathability. For protection in heavy rain, wear it as a mid-layer under a waterproof outer shell.

How do I care for the zipped pockets to ensure they last?

To ensure the longevity of the zipped pockets, avoid overfilling them. Always zip them up before washing the jacket to prevent damage to the zippers or the fabric.

Can I wear this jacket for intense athletic activities?

While suitable for light to moderate outdoor activities, the fleece material is best for warmth and comfort. For high-intensity activities, you might prefer a technical jacket designed for moisture-wicking and dynamic movement.

What's the best way to store the jacket when not in use?

Store your fleece jacket in a cool, dry place. Avoid compressing it for extended periods, as this can flatten the fleece fibers and reduce its insulating properties. Hanging it up is ideal.

Is the 'high quality' mentioned in the description visible in the construction?

Yes, The North Face is known for its durable construction. The jacket features robust stitching, quality zippers, and a resilient fleece fabric, all contributing to its overall high quality and longevity.

Does the fleece material shed?

Initial shedding might occur, which is normal for new fleece products. This usually subsides after the first few washes. Following the care instructions can help minimize shedding.

What does 'full zip' mean for this jacket?

A 'full zip' design means the zipper extends from the bottom hem of the jacket all the way to the top of the collar. This allows for easy donning and doffing, as well as versatile temperature regulation by zipping up or down.

Troubleshooting

Fleece material pilling or losing softness

Wash the jacket inside out on a gentle cycle with cold water. Avoid using fabric softeners and harsh detergents. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry. A fabric shaver can be used carefully to remove existing pills.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently work the zipper up and down. If it persists, a dry lubricant like a graphite pencil rubbed on the teeth can help.

Jacket feels less warm than expected

The Yumiori fleece is a mid-layer designed for warmth and breathability. For very cold or windy conditions, wear it as part of a layering system with a thermal base layer and a windproof/waterproof outer shell.

Logo on the jacket is fading

Wash according to care instructions, avoiding harsh detergents or excessive scrubbing directly on the logo. Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can also cause fading, so store appropriately.

Care & Maintenance

Proper care will extend the life and performance of your fleece jacket.

  1. Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Use a mild detergent.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry to preserve fleece integrity. Avoid high heat as it can damage the fibers.
  3. Bleach/Softener: Do not bleach. Avoid fabric softeners as they can reduce the fleece's wicking capabilities and breathability.
  4. Ironing: Do not iron.
  5. Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean.
  6. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid compressing for long periods to maintain loft.
