FAQs
Is this fleece waterproof?
No, this fleece is designed for warmth and comfort. It is not waterproof but can be layered under a waterproof outer shell.
What kind of activities is this fleece best suited for?
It is ideal for casual wear, light outdoor activities, hiking, camping, or as a comfortable layering piece in cooler weather.
How do I know if the fit will be right for me?
The fleece features a 'Regular' fit, which is standard. It is recommended to consult the size chart and consider your preferred fit (e.g., if you prefer a looser fit for layering, you might consider sizing up).
Can I wear this in very cold weather?
It provides good insulation for its weight, but for very cold conditions, it is best used as a mid-layer under a warmer jacket or coat.
How durable is the embroidery?
The embroidery is designed to be durable and withstand regular wear and washing according to care instructions. Avoid harsh scrubbing directly on the embroidered area.
What does 'Anti-Pilling' mean?
Anti-pilling means the fabric is treated to resist the formation of small balls (pills) on the surface, maintaining a smoother appearance over time.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels stiff after washing
Avoid using fabric softener. Wash again on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent, and air dry.
Pilling has started to appear
While the fleece is anti-pilling, excessive friction or rough washing can still cause minor pilling. Wash inside out on a delicate cycle and air dry. A fabric shaver can be used for minor pilling.
Zipper is difficult to move
Ensure the fabric around the zipper is clear. Gently try to move the zipper. If it persists, check for any snags or apply a small amount of graphite from a pencil to the teeth.
