FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the Retro Pile Marsupial Fleece?

The primary benefit is its exceptional warmth and comfort provided by the retro-inspired, high-pile fleece, making it ideal for cooler weather.

What does 'Marsupial Pocket' mean?

A marsupial pocket is a large, roomy front pocket, similar to a kangaroo's pouch, designed to keep hands warm or store small items.

Is this fleece suitable for high-activity sports?

While it offers warmth, its primary design is for comfort and casual wear or lower-intensity activities. For high-output activities in cooler weather, consider it as a mid-layer to manage warmth effectively.

How should I wash and care for this fleece to maintain its quality?

Machine wash warm, do not bleach, tumble dry low, and do not iron. Avoid fabric softeners to preserve the fleece's loft and warmth.

What does 'Fair Trade Certified™' mean for this product?

It means that the people who made this product earned a premium for their labor, supporting fair wages and working conditions.

What are the pocket bags made of?

The pocket bags are made of 3.5-oz 100% recycled polyester brushed mesh.

Can this fleece be worn by men?

This specific model is designed for women. Patagonia offers other fleece styles that may be suitable for men.

Troubleshooting

Fleece appears matted or less soft after washing.

Ensure you are following the care instructions precisely. Avoid high heat drying and ironing. Consider a gentle tumble dry on low heat. Do not use fabric softeners.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. Ensure there are no fabric snags. You can apply a small amount of wax (like a candle or beeswax) to the zipper teeth to help it glide more smoothly.

Pilling or shedding of fleece fibers.

Some minor pilling is normal with high-pile fleece over time. To minimize, wash inside out with similar colors and avoid harsh abrasion. Regular brushing with a soft-bristled brush can help maintain the appearance.
