FAQs

What is the main benefit of the borg fleece fabric?

The borg fleece fabric is chosen for its exceptional insulating properties, providing outstanding warmth and comfort without being overly heavy.

Is this fleece suitable for very cold or wet weather?

While the fleece provides good insulation, it is not waterproof or windproof. For very cold or wet conditions, it's best used as a mid-layer combined with a waterproof and windproof outer shell.

How do I ensure the geometric print lasts?

To preserve the print, wash the garment inside out on a gentle cycle with mild detergent and avoid high heat during drying or ironing.

What does it mean that this is part of the National Trust Collection?

This means the design is exclusive and a portion of the net sales (10%) is donated to the National Trust to help protect nature, beauty, and history.

Can this fleece be worn by women?

While designed with a men's regular fit, some individuals may find the sizing and cut suitable depending on their preferred fit and layering style. Refer to the size guide for specific measurements.

How durable is the 100% recycled polyester material?

Recycled polyester generally offers good durability and wear resistance, comparable to virgin polyester, making it suitable for regular use and outdoor activities.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels less warm than expected

Ensure the fleece is clean. Fabric softeners or excessive pilling can reduce insulating properties. Wash with mild detergent and consider air drying.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.

Garment appears stretched or misshapen after washing

Ensure you are following the recommended washing and drying instructions, particularly avoiding high heat in the dryer. Reshape the garment while damp and allow it to air dry.

  • Provides excellent insulation for warmth.
  • Made from sustainable, 100% recycled polyester.
  • Unique and artistic design inspired by nature.
  • Comfortable regular fit for easy layering.
  • Practical features like pockets and machine washability.

Cons

  • The bold geometric print might be too casual for some occasions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This garment requires no setup; it is ready to wear straight out of the packaging.

Compatibility: This fleece is designed as a casual outer layer or mid-layer for adult males. It pairs well with hiking trousers, jeans, or other casual bottoms.

Care Instructions: To maintain the quality and longevity of your fleece:

  1. Washing: Machine washable at 30°C (86°F) on a gentle cycle.
  2. Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can reduce the fleece's insulating properties.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to air dry. Avoid high heat, which can damage the fibers.
  4. Ironing: Do not iron. The fabric does not require it and high heat can melt the polyester.
