Product Information
Full details
The Craghoppers Miska VI Half Zip Fleece is an essential layering piece for outdoor enthusiasts who prioritize warmth and moisture management. Designed for adult women, this lightweight microfleece provides excellent thermal insulation while remaining quick-drying, making it ideal for hiking, walking, or casual outdoor errands. While it offers superior comfort and sustainable design through the use of recycled materials, users should note that as a lightweight layer, it is best utilized as a mid-layer rather than a standalone shell in severe, high-wind weather conditions.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this fleece windproof?
No, the Miska VI is designed for breathability and warmth. It will not block strong winds and should be paired with a windproof shell in exposed conditions.
Can I put this in the tumble dryer?
It is not recommended. The polyester microfleece dries very quickly on its own, and high heat from a dryer can shrink or damage the synthetic fibers.
What does 'recycled materials' mean for this product?
The fabric incorporates recycled content to help reduce waste, supporting a more sustainable production process without sacrificing technical performance.
How should I layer this for winter hiking?
For winter, wear a synthetic base layer underneath the Miska VI to manage sweat, and add a waterproof or windproof outer shell on top to seal in heat and block the elements.
Does the fleece have pockets?
The Miska VI design focuses on a clean, minimalist silhouette and typically does not feature side pockets to maintain its lightweight, packable nature.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels less warm than when it was new
This often happens due to a buildup of soap residue or fabric softener. Wash the garment again using only water or a technical cleaner to strip away buildup.
Visible pilling on the fabric surface
Pilling is common with microfleece. Use a fabric shaver or a de-pilling comb to gently remove surface fuzz, and be sure to wash the item inside out to reduce friction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Craghoppers fleece maintains its insulating properties, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can coat the synthetic fibers and reduce the moisture-wicking and quick-drying capabilities of the fabric.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible. The fabric is inherently quick-drying, so it rarely requires a tumble dryer, which can damage the synthetic loft over time.
- Compatibility: This garment pairs well with base layer thermal tops for cold days or sits comfortably underneath a standard waterproof hardshell jacket for protection against rain and wind.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid hanging it on sharp-edged hangers for long periods to prevent shoulder stretching.
