Designed with a high-loft microfleece construction, this garment excels at trapping body heat without adding excessive bulk to your layering system, though it is intended primarily as an insulating piece rather than a standalone waterproof outer shell.

FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
No, this fleece is designed for insulation and breathability. It will not repel rain, so it should be worn under a waterproof shell during wet weather.
Can I wear this as my only jacket?
It is suitable for dry, mild conditions, but it offers little protection against wind or rain, so it is best used as a middle layer.
What is the best way to wash this fleece?
Machine wash on a cool setting with a gentle detergent, and always hang to dry to preserve the integrity of the fleece structure.
Is the material breathable?
Yes, the synthetic microfleece is highly breathable, making it excellent for active pursuits where temperature regulation is important.
Does the sizing run true to size?
The jacket follows standard sizing, but if you plan on wearing thick layers underneath, keep this in mind when selecting your fit.
Troubleshooting
Fabric appearing 'matted' or losing softness
This is often caused by residue from fabric softeners. Wash the jacket again with a technical wash or mild detergent without adding any softeners to restore loft.
Excessive pilling after heavy use
Pilling is a normal result of friction. Use a fabric shaver or lint roller to gently remove surface fuzz, and avoid wearing abrasive items like heavy backpacks directly over the fleece whenever possible.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Karrimor Fleece, always follow the care label instructions. Typically, this involves machine washing on a cool, gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can coat the fleece fibers and reduce their moisture-wicking and breathability performance. Hang drying is recommended to maintain the fabric's loft and prevent damage from high heat in a tumble dryer. When sizing, consider your layering needs; if you prefer a looser fit for extra base layers, you may wish to account for that when selecting your size.
