FAQs

What is grid fleece?

Grid fleece is a type of fabric with a grid-like pattern on the inside. This structure creates small channels that help to trap air for insulation while also allowing for better breathability and moisture-wicking compared to standard fleece.

How do I determine the best size?

Refer to the Weird Fish sizing guide for men's apparel. Consider your chest and waist measurements. This fleece typically has a regular fit, but personal preference for layering may influence sizing choice.

Is this fleece waterproof?

No, the Newark 1/4 Zip Grid Fleece is not waterproof. It is designed for warmth and breathability, making it a suitable mid-layer. For protection against rain, it should be worn under a waterproof outer shell.

Can I wear this in the summer?

This fleece is best suited for cooler seasons like autumn, winter, and spring. It can be worn on cooler summer evenings or at higher altitudes where temperatures may drop.

What does the '1/4 zip' mean?

A '1/4 zip' refers to a zipper that extends about one-quarter of the way down the front of the garment, typically from the collar to the chest. This allows for easy ventilation.

Does the metal fish zip pull detach?

The metal fish zip pull is a decorative and functional part of the zipper and is typically attached securely. It is not designed to be detached.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels too warm indoors

Utilize the quarter-zip design to vent heat and improve airflow. Consider wearing it only when the temperature drops or as an outer layer in milder conditions.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. A small amount of wax or lubricant can be applied to the zipper teeth if needed.

Pilling after washing

This can occur with fleece materials. To minimize, wash inside out on a gentle cycle with cold water. Avoid abrasive materials in the wash and consider air drying.

Color transfer to other garments

Wash the fleece separately or with similar colors for the first few washes, especially darker or brighter shades, as some color may initially bleed.
