FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the grid fleece design?
The geometric shaping in the grid weave is specifically designed to trap air and body heat more effectively, providing enhanced warmth while maintaining a relatively slim profile.
Is this fleece suitable as an outer layer in bad weather?
While it offers warmth, it is best suited as a mid-layer. It is not waterproof or windproof enough to be an effective outer layer in harsh or wet conditions. A waterproof or windproof jacket over the fleece is recommended.
How do I wash the Shires Full Zip Grid Fleece?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry.
What size should I order if I normally wear an XXL?
This product is available in XXL. Please refer to the brand's specific sizing chart for detailed measurements to ensure the best fit.
Can this fleece be worn by women?
This specific model (Shires Full Zip Grid Fleece) is designed for men. While fleece can be unisex, fit may vary. Weird Fish also offers women's fleece models like the Ariana.
Does the fleece have adjustable features?
The fleece features a high neck for added warmth and has hand slip pockets. It does not have adjustable cuffs or hem.
What is the chest logo?
The chest features an embroidered logo, adding a subtle branding detail to the garment.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels less warm after washing
Avoid using fabric softener, as it coats the fibers and reduces insulation. Ensure the fleece is completely dry before assessing warmth.
Pilling on the fabric surface
Pilling is natural for fleece over time. Use a fabric shaver gently to remove pills. Reduce friction during washing and drying.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to close
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Lubricate the zipper teeth with a graphite pencil or a small amount of wax.

Care Instructions:
To maintain the quality and insulating properties of your fleece:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C (86°F).
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can reduce the fleece's ability to wick moisture and retain warmth.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to air dry. Avoid high heat, which can damage the fibers.
- Ironing: Do not iron. If creases occur, gently stretch the fabric while damp.
- General Care: Avoid washing with abrasive materials or items with sharp zippers that could snag the fleece.
