Made from 100% polyester, this fleece is highly resistant to shrinking. Following the care instructions (cold wash, low tumble dry or air dry) will ensure it maintains its size and shape.

Ensure you are washing the fleece on a gentle cycle with cold water and avoiding harsh detergents or fabric softeners. Tumble drying on low or air drying can also help prevent pilling. A fabric shaver can be used to carefully remove existing pills.

Verify if the ambient temperature and activity level require additional layers. This fleece is a mid-layer; for very cold conditions or low activity, pair it with a base layer and a windproof/waterproof outer shell. Ensure the adjustable hem is cinched to trap warmth.

Periodically clean zippers with a damp cloth to remove dirt or debris. For persistent stiffness, apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (e.g., silicone spray or graphite from a pencil) carefully to the teeth.

Ensure the fleece is thoroughly dried after washing. For persistent odors, use a sports-specific detergent designed to combat synthetic fabric odors, or add a cup of white vinegar to the wash cycle (in addition to detergent) once in a while.
