FAQs

What material is the Gelert Walking Full Zip Fleece made from?

The Gelert Walking Full Zip Fleece is made from 100% polyester, offering durability and warmth.

Is this fleece suitable for rainy weather?

No, this fleece is not waterproof. For rainy conditions, it should be worn as a warm mid-layer underneath a waterproof outer jacket to keep your child dry.

How should I wash the fleece?

It is machine washable. We recommend washing it on a gentle cycle with cold or warm water and then air drying or tumble drying on a low heat setting. Avoid using fabric softeners and do not iron or bleach it.

Does it have pockets?

Yes, the fleece features convenient handwarming pockets to help keep little hands cozy on cooler days.

What age group is this fleece for?

This fleece is designed for children within the 'kids' age group, available in various children's sizes.

Can this be worn as a standalone jacket?

Yes, in mild, dry weather, it can be worn as a comfortable standalone outer jacket. For colder or wet conditions, it functions best as a warm insulating layer.

How do I choose the correct size?

Info needed: Refer to the product's sizing chart for accurate measurements to ensure the best fit for your child. Consider your child's current clothing size and typical growth.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels less soft or has pilled

Pilling is common with fleece over time, especially in areas of high friction. To minimize, wash the fleece inside out on a gentle cycle. For existing pills, use a fabric shaver or a specific pilling comb to carefully remove them.

Static cling

Static can build up in polyester fabrics. Try adding a small amount of liquid fabric conditioner during the wash cycle (avoid dryer sheets as they can leave residue). Air drying can also help reduce static build-up.

Fleece is not warm enough for current weather

This fleece is designed for moderate cold. For colder conditions, ensure proper layering underneath (e.g., a long-sleeve base layer) and consider adding an outer windproof or waterproof shell to retain heat and block wind.

Cons

  • Polyester can generate static cling, especially in dry conditions
  • Pilling can occur over time with frequent washing or heavy use

Setup:

The Gelert Walking Full Zip Fleece requires no special setup. Simply unpackage it and it's ready for immediate wear.

Compatibility:

This fleece is designed as a versatile layering piece. It can be worn as an outer layer in mild, dry conditions or as a warm mid-layer under a waterproof or windproof jacket for colder or wetter weather. It pairs well with t-shirts or thin base layers underneath.

Care:

To ensure the longevity and performance of your fleece, follow these care instructions:

  • Washing: Machine wash according to the label's instructions. Use a gentle cycle with cold or warm water.
  • Drying: Air dry or tumble dry on a low heat setting. Avoid high heat as it can damage the polyester fibers.
  • Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can reduce the fleece's wicking properties and cause fiber build-up.
  • Ironing: Do not iron.
  • Bleaching: Do not bleach.
