FAQs

What is POLARTEC 100 fleece?

Can I wash this fleece in a washing machine?

Yes, you can machine wash it in cold water (30°C) with like colors. Avoid fabric softeners and high heat drying.

What is the primary benefit of the half-zip design?

The half-zip allows for easy adjustment of ventilation and temperature. You can zip it up for more warmth or unzip it to cool down.

Troubleshooting

Fleece appears less fluffy or warm after washing.

Avoid using fabric softeners, as they coat the fleece fibers. Ensure you are tumble drying on a low setting or air drying to prevent heat damage.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it remains stiff, apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or a tiny dab of beeswax to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.

Minor pilling on the surface of the fleece.

Pilling is a natural characteristic of fleece over time. Use a fabric shaver or a comb gently to remove small pills. Avoid excessive rubbing in high-friction areas.
