FAQs
What materials is the Newark Eco 1/4 Zip Grid Fleece made from?
It is made from 88% Recycled Polyester and 12% Viscose, combining sustainability with warmth and comfort.
How does the geometric grid weave contribute to warmth?
The geometric weave creates small pockets of air within the fabric, which effectively trap body heat, providing superior insulation without adding significant bulk.
Is this fleece suitable for very cold weather?
The Newark fleece is designed for excellent heat retention in cool to mild conditions. For very cold weather, it is best worn as an insulating mid-layer under a more substantial outer jacket.
Can I machine wash this fleece?
Yes, it is suitable for a 30°C machine wash. Please refer to the 'Care Instructions' section for best results.
What is the benefit of the 1/4 zip design?
The 1/4 zip allows for adjustable ventilation, letting you regulate your body temperature easily. It also features a high neck for added warmth and protection from drafts.
Does this fleece come in other colors or sizes?
The Newark 1/4 Zip Grid Fleece is available in various colors and sizes. Please check the product listings for current availability. (Info needed: Specific color and size availability would vary by retailer/stock.)
Can this fleece be worn as an outer layer?
Yes, it makes an ideal final layer in mild, dry conditions. However, it is not windproof or waterproof, so for windy or wet weather, it should be paired with a suitable outer shell.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels stiff or less soft after washing.
Ensure you are using a fabric softener during the wash cycle. Air dry or tumble dry on the lowest heat setting to help maintain softness. Avoid over-drying.
Static cling is noticeable when wearing the fleece.
This can happen with synthetic materials. Try using a dryer sheet when tumble drying or an anti-static spray on the garment before wearing.
Fleece appears to be pilling (small fabric balls forming).
Pilling can occur with wear and washing. Gently remove pills using a fabric shaver or a lint roller designed for pilling. Washing inside out can also help prevent this.
Zip feels stiff or gets stuck.
Ensure the fabric isn't caught in the zipper teeth. A small amount of graphite from a pencil rubbed on the zipper teeth can sometimes help lubricate a sticky zip.

Care Instructions:
To maintain the quality and longevity of your Newark fleece, follow these care steps:
- Machine Wash: Wash at `30°C` (degrees Celsius) on a gentle cycle.
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach.
- Drying: Air dry flat or tumble dry on a low heat setting to prevent damage to the fleece fibers and minimize shrinking.
- Ironing: Do not iron, as high heat can damage the fleece material.
- Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean.
*Pro Tip*: Washing fleece garments inside out can help protect the outer surface from pilling.
