What does 'oversized fit' mean for this garment?

How should I clean this half-zip to maintain its quality?

Machine wash cold with like colors, use a mild detergent, and tumble dry low or hang dry. Avoid bleach and high heat.

Is this suitable for athletic performance?

While comfortable and breathable, it's primarily designed for casual wear and light athletic activities or as a recovery layer, rather than high-intensity performance.

Does the embroidered graphic hold up well to washing?

What other sizes or colors are available?

Troubleshooting

Fading color after washing

Ensure you are washing with cold water and using a mild detergent. Avoid direct sunlight when drying. Consider washing inside out.

Fabric feels less soft

Avoid using fabric softeners, which can degrade fleece over time. Tumble dry on low heat for a short period, or hang dry.

Shrinkage after drying

Always use the low heat setting on your dryer or opt for air drying. Avoid high heat in the washing machine or dryer.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Ensure the fabric around the zipper is flat. You can apply a small amount of graphite from a pencil or a bit of wax to the zipper teeth to help it glide smoothly.
