FAQs
Is this fleece suitable for very cold weather?
The Yumiori Zip-Up Fleece provides excellent warmth for mild to cool temperatures and serves as a great insulating layer for colder conditions. For extreme cold, it should be paired with an appropriate outer shell and base layers.
Can I machine wash this sweatshirt?
Yes, it is machine washable. For best results and to maintain its quality, wash in cold water on a gentle cycle. Always check the care label for precise instructions.
Will this fleece shrink?
Being 100% polyester, this fleece is highly resistant to shrinking. However, excessive heat from washing or drying can damage the fibers or alter the fit, so always follow recommended care instructions.
Is the zipper sturdy?
The North Face products are known for their durability. The zipper is designed for regular use, but proper care, like avoiding forcing it and keeping it clean, will ensure its longevity.
What is the best way to store this fleece?
Store your fleece in a clean, dry place. Hanging it helps maintain its shape, but folding it neatly is also fine. Ensure it is completely dry before storing to prevent odors or mildew.
Is this fleece breathable?
While 100% polyester fleece offers good insulation, it also has some breathability to allow moisture vapor to escape. The zip-up design further aids in ventilation when needed during activity.
What size is 'XS' equivalent to?
XS typically stands for Extra Small. For exact measurements, please refer to The North Face's official sizing chart, which can usually be found on their website or the product page.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels less soft or has pilling after washing.
This can happen with fabric softener or high heat drying. Wash with cold water, use a gentle cycle, and air dry or tumble dry on very low heat. Avoid fabric softeners. A fabric shaver can remove existing pills.
Sweatshirt retains odors even after washing.
Polyester can sometimes hold onto oils and bacteria. Try adding a cup of white vinegar to the wash cycle to help neutralize odors. Ensure the garment is fully dry before storing.
Zipper is sticking or difficult to move.
Apply a small amount of graphite from a pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant to the zipper teeth. Gently work the zipper up and down to distribute the lubricant. Check for any fabric caught in the teeth.
White fleece looks dingy or discolored.
Wash separately with other whites. For persistent dinginess, you can try a small amount of oxygen-based bleach (non-chlorine) or a specialized whitening detergent designed for polyester, following product instructions carefully. Ensure adequate rinsing.

Care
Proper care is crucial to maintain the quality and longevity of your 100% polyester fleece. Always refer to the care label inside the garment for specific washing instructions. Generally, polyester fleece should be washed in cold water on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can reduce the fleece's wicking properties and cause pilling. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry to prevent heat damage and maintain softness. Do not bleach or iron. Promptly remove from dryer to minimize static.
