FAQs
Is the Portwest Argyll Fleece waterproof?
No, this is a fleece garment made of polar polyester and is not waterproof. It is best used for warmth in dry, cool conditions.
Does the fleece shrink in the wash?
To minimize the risk of shrinkage, always wash in cool water and hang dry. Avoid using high-heat tumble drying.
What is an anti-pill finish?
This is a treatment applied to the fabric that prevents small balls of fiber, known as pills, from forming on the surface during wear and washing.
Can I wear this under a waterproof jacket?
Yes, its design works well as a mid-layer, provided your outer jacket has enough room to accommodate the 400g fleece thickness.
How do I choose the right size?
The fleece has a generous, loose fit. If you prefer a more slim or athletic fit for layering, you may want to double-check the sizing chart against your measurements.
Troubleshooting
Visible lint or debris on the fabric
Use a lint roller or a fabric shaver. Despite the anti-pill finish, surface debris can accumulate in dusty environments.
Front zipper feels stuck or difficult to move
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth and apply a tiny amount of dry lubricant or graphite if it persists.
Drawcord not staying in place
Check the tension of the toggles. If they slip, ensure the cord is correctly looped and knotted.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the integrity of the Portwest Argyll Heavy Fleece, it should be machine washed on a gentle cycle. Avoid using heavy detergents or bleach, which can compromise the anti-pill treatment and fleece structure. Always zip up the front and pocket zippers before washing to prevent snagging. Hang drying is recommended to prevent shrinkage. The generous cut is compatible with standard base layers and thermal shirts, making it easy to integrate into existing workwear systems. If you require a tighter fit for active use, consider the sizing carefully, as the 'generous fit' is designed for comfort and room to move.
