Weird Fish Newark Eco 1/4 Zip Grid Fleece - Black

Grid fleece refers to the unique weave pattern of the fabric, which has raised squares or grids. This design creates air channels that efficiently trap body heat, providing superior warmth-to-weight ratio and enhancing breathability compared to traditional flat fleeces.

Yes, it is designed for excellent insulation. For very cold conditions, it performs best as part of a layering system, worn over a base layer and under a protective outer shell jacket.

You can wear it as an outer layer in mild, dry, and non-windy conditions. However, for protection against wind or rain, we recommend pairing it with a suitable windbreaker or waterproof jacket.

Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle. Do not use fabric softeners or bleach. Tumble dry on low or air dry flat. Do not iron.

Yes, the Newark Eco Grid Fleece is made with 88% Recycled Polyester, demonstrating a commitment to using sustainable materials and reducing environmental impact.

While fleece inherently offers some flexibility, this garment is designed for comfort and layering rather than significant athletic stretch. It will allow for good freedom of movement.

The 1/4 zip allows for quick and easy adjustment of ventilation. You can zip it down to release heat when you're active and zip it up to trap warmth when you need extra insulation around your neck.

Ensure you are not using fabric softeners, as they can coat the fibers and reduce insulation. Wash according to care instructions to prevent fiber compression.

Wash with a small amount of white vinegar during the rinse cycle or use an anti-static spray on the dried fleece.

Pilling can occur with wear. To minimize, wash the fleece inside out on a gentle cycle. For existing pills, a fabric shaver or lint roller can carefully remove them.

This can happen if too much detergent is used or if the fleece isn't rinsed thoroughly. Try re-washing with less detergent and an extra rinse cycle. Avoid fabric softeners.
