FAQs
Is the Weird Fish Newark fleece waterproof?
No, this garment is made of fleece and is not waterproof. It is intended to be worn as an insulating mid-layer.
Does the fleece provide wind protection?
While the grid weave offers some wind resistance, it is primarily an insulating layer. For high winds, we recommend wearing a windproof shell over it.
Can I tumble dry this fleece?
We recommend air drying only, as excessive heat from tumble dryers can damage the fleece fibers and cause shrinkage.
What is the benefit of the grid weave?
The geometric grid weave creates small air pockets that trap body heat more efficiently than flat fabrics, providing better warmth-to-weight performance.
Is this a regular or slim fit?
The Newark fleece is designed with a comfortable, versatile fit suitable for layering over other garments.
Troubleshooting
Fabric appears to be pilling after frequent use
Use a fabric shaver to gently remove surface lint; avoid abrasive scrubbing brushes.
Zip feels stiff or sticks
Ensure no fabric threads are caught in the teeth; you can apply a very light touch of paraffin wax to the zip teeth to improve movement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Weird Fish grid fleece performing at its best, follow these guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wash the garment on a gentle cycle at 30 degrees Celsius. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can coat the fibers and degrade the moisture-wicking and insulating properties of the fleece.
- Drying: Air dry the fleece by hanging it away from direct heat sources. High-heat tumble drying can shrink the fabric or damage the grid structure.
- Compatibility: This garment pairs perfectly with standard waterproof jackets or windbreakers. For optimal warmth, wear it over a merino wool or synthetic base layer to maximize moisture management.
