Karrimor Fleece Jacket - Blue

No, this fleece jacket is not waterproof. It is designed to provide warmth and breathability as a mid-layer. For protection against rain or heavy moisture, it should be worn under a waterproof outer shell.

Machine wash cold (up to 30°C / 86°F) on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Do not use fabric softener, bleach, or iron. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry.

Yes, in dry, cool, and calm conditions, it can be worn as an outer layer. However, for windy or wet weather, its primary purpose is as an insulating mid-layer beneath a windproof or waterproof shell.

It is made from 100% Polyester microfleece, which is known for its lightweight warmth and durability.

While it provides good warmth, for very cold or harsh winter conditions, it is best used as part of a comprehensive layering system with an appropriate base layer and a heavy-duty outer shell.

Fabric softeners can clog the fibers of the fleece, reducing its ability to trap air (and thus its warmth), impairing its breathability and wicking properties, and potentially contributing to pilling.

To minimize pilling, wash the jacket inside out on a gentle cycle with cold water. Avoid washing it with abrasive items like jeans or towels, and air dry it whenever possible.

Ensure you are not using fabric softener, as it can flatten the fleece fibers and reduce its insulating properties. Tumble dry on low heat to help restore the loft, or air dry.

Static can be common with polyester fleece. Try using an anti-static spray on the garment. During drying, air drying or using dryer balls can help reduce static.

Pilling can occur from friction. To minimize, wash the jacket inside out on a gentle cycle and avoid rubbing it against abrasive surfaces. A fabric shaver or lint brush can be used to carefully remove existing pills.

Fleece can act as a magnet for lint and hair. Use a lint roller regularly to clean the surface. Washing with similar lint-free fabrics can also help.
