FAQs
What is the primary purpose of the grid design?
The grid design in the weave creates small pockets that trap body heat, enhancing insulation while allowing for breathability and keeping the layer relatively slim.
Is this fleece suitable for very cold, snowy conditions?
The Shires Full Zip Grid Fleece is best as a mid-layer. For very cold or snowy conditions, it should be worn in conjunction with an insulating layer and a waterproof outer shell.
How should I wash the fleece?
It is recommended to machine wash cold with like colors using a mild detergent, and then tumble dry on low or hang to dry. Avoid bleach and ironing.
What material is this fleece made from?
This fleece is made with recycled polyester, contributing to a more sustainable choice.
Does this fleece have a hood?
No, this model features a high neck design for wind protection, but it does not include a hood.
Can I wear this as an outer layer in light rain?
While the fleece offers some wind resistance, it is not waterproof. For rain, it should be worn under a waterproof outer layer.
What are the pocket features?
The fleece includes hand slip pockets, designed to keep your hands warm or to hold small, lightweight items.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels tight or restrictive
Check the size guide and consider ordering a size up if you prefer a looser fit or intend to layer heavily underneath.
Zipper is difficult to use
Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper teeth. If it persists, gently use a graphite pencil or wax along the zipper track.
Fleece loses its softness after washing
Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoiding high heat during washing and drying. Air drying can help preserve softness.
Pilling occurs on the fabric surface
This can happen with fleece. Avoid excessive friction and follow care instructions closely. A fabric shaver can be used to carefully remove pills.
