FAQs

What material is the fleece made from?

The fleece is made from 60% recycled polyester and 40% polyester with a microfleece melange construction.

Is this fleece suitable for very cold weather?

The fleece provides good insulation as a mid-layer. For very cold weather, it is recommended to wear it over a base layer and under a windproof or waterproof outer shell.

How do I determine my size?

Refer to the sizing chart provided. Measurements are typically in inches for chest size (e.g., XS: 36 in, S: 38 in, M: 40 in, L: 43 in, XL: 46 in, XXL: 49 in).

Can the front pocket hold a smartphone?

The front pocket is zippered and designed to hold small essentials. Its size should accommodate most standard smartphones, but it's best to check dimensions if specific fit is critical.

How should I wash the fleece top?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle at a low temperature (around 30°C) and tumble dry on a low heat setting. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.

What does 'melange' mean in the fabric description?

Melange refers to a yarn or fabric that has a mottled or streaked appearance, typically created by blending fibers of different colors before spinning.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently pull the zipper while holding the fabric taut. A small amount of graphite from a pencil can sometimes help lubricate the teeth.

Fleece feels less warm after washing

Avoid fabric softeners, as they can reduce the loft and insulating properties of fleece. Ensure the garment is dried on a low heat setting and not over-dried.

Seam appears to be coming undone

If the seam is minor, a few stitches with a needle and thread can reinforce it. For significant damage, consider professional repair or contact customer support if within warranty.
