FAQs
What is the main benefit of the half-zip design?
The half-zip allows for quick and easy temperature regulation. You can zip it up for more warmth or zip it down to increase ventilation when you get too warm.
Is this fleece suitable for very cold weather?
The fleece is lightweight (170gsm) and best suited for moderate conditions or as a layering piece. For very cold weather, it should be worn with additional insulating layers underneath and a windproof/waterproof outer shell.
How should I wash this fleece top?
Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and do not iron.
Will the fleece bobble or pill easily?
The fleece is treated with a one-side anti-pill finish, designed to resist bobbling and maintain its appearance over time with proper care.
What kind of material is this fleece made from?
It is crafted from 100% Polyester Symmetry Fleece.
Can this fleece be worn by women?
While designed with men in mind, the regular fit and classic style might appeal to women looking for a relaxed, comfortable fleece. Checking the size guide for measurements is recommended.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels less warm after washing.
Fabric softeners can coat fleece fibers, reducing warmth and breathability. Ensure you are not using fabric softener and wash with a mild detergent.
Minor pilling on the surface.
While treated with an anti-pill finish, some minimal pilling can occur with heavy abrasion. You can carefully remove small pills with a fabric shaver.
Zipper is stiff.
Ensure the fabric around the zipper is clear. Gently move the zipper up and down. If it remains stiff, a small amount of graphite from a pencil rubbed on the teeth can help lubricate it.

Care Instructions: To maintain the quality and longevity of your fleece, please follow these guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash at 30°C (86°F) on a gentle cycle.
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can reduce the fleece's breathability and effectiveness.
