FAQs

What is the primary material of the Miska VI Fleece?

The Miska VI Fleece is primarily made of fleece material, offering warmth and insulation.

Is this fleece suitable for very cold weather?

It provides good warmth as a mid-layer or standalone piece in cool to moderately cold conditions. For extreme cold, layering with additional insulating or waterproof outerwear is recommended.

Can I wear this fleece in the rain?

The fleece material itself is not waterproof. It offers some resistance to light moisture but will become saturated in prolonged or heavy rain. It is best used as a layer under a waterproof jacket.

How do I know what size to order?

Refer to the Craghoppers sizing chart for women's apparel. The product description lists the UK dress size (size 8 in this instance). It's advisable to measure your bust, waist, and hips and compare them to the chart.

What is the benefit of the half-zip design?

The half-zip allows for easy adjustment of ventilation, helping you regulate your body temperature more effectively during activity or when conditions change.

Can this fleece be used for active sports like running?

Yes, it's suitable for active use due to its breathability and ability to manage moisture. The half-zip is particularly useful for adjusting ventilation during runs.

How should I store the fleece when not in use?

Store the fleece folded or loosely hung in a dry place. Avoid storing it in a compressed state for long periods to maintain its loft and insulating properties.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels less warm after washing

Avoid using fabric softener, as it can mat the fleece fibers and reduce their insulating capacity. Wash with a mild detergent and tumble dry on low heat.

Zipper is stiff or snagging

Gently pull the fabric away from the zipper teeth. You can lubricate the zipper with a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant.

Pilling on the fleece surface

Pilling is a common occurrence with fleece. Gently remove any small balls of fiber with a fabric shaver or by hand. Regular washing as per care instructions can help minimize this.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This is a ready-to-wear garment with no setup required.

Compatibility: The fleece is designed as women's apparel and is compatible with various outdoor and casual clothing items. It layers well over base layers and under waterproof jackets.

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