FAQs
What is the primary material of this fleece top?
The top is made from 100% Polyester fleece.
How do I find the correct size?
Refer to the detailed sizing information provided, which lists chest measurements corresponding to UK dress sizes. Measure your chest and compare it to the chart for the best fit.
Is this fleece suitable for very cold weather?
This is a lightweight fleece (170gsm) designed for mild to cool conditions or as a layering piece. For extreme cold, it would likely need to be worn with additional insulating layers.
How should I care for the fleece to maintain its anti-pilling properties?
Machine wash at 30°C with similar colors, and tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Avoid harsh detergents and high heat, which can degrade the fibers over time.
Can I wear this top for strenuous activity?
Yes, the lightweight and breathable nature makes it suitable for moderate activity like walking or hiking. The quarter-zip allows for temperature regulation.
Does the embroidered detail affect comfort?
The embroidered detail and logo are generally designed to be non-intrusive and located externally, so they should not significantly impact comfort during wear.
What does '170gsm' refer to?
GSM stands for 'Grams per Square Meter'. It indicates the weight of the fabric. 170gsm is considered a lightweight fabric, offering warmth without bulk.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels rough after washing.
Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, which can sometimes affect fleece texture. Check that you are not using excessive heat during drying.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Ensure the fabric around the zipper is flat and not caught. You can try gently rubbing a graphite pencil tip on the zipper teeth to lubricate it.
Pilling is appearing prematurely.
While designed to be anti-pilling, excessive friction (e.g., from backpack straps rubbing constantly) can still cause pilling. Ensure correct washing and drying methods are followed, avoiding high heat and harsh agitation.
