What material is the fleece made from?
It is made from hardwearing polyester microfleece.
How should I wash the fleece?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with like colors. Use a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry.

Is this fleece suitable for very cold weather?
It functions well as a mid-layer in cold weather when worn with appropriate base and outer layers. On its own, it's best suited for mild to cool conditions.
What does 'stretch binding' do?
Stretch binding is applied to the cuffs and hem to help lock out the elements, providing a more secure and comfortable fit that stays in place during movement.
Can I wear a thick sweater underneath?
The fleece has a streamlined design. While you can wear a thin base layer, a very thick sweater underneath might make the fit feel snug.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels less warm than expected
Ensure the fleece is dry. Check that no fabric softener was used in washing, as it can coat fibers and reduce insulation. Verify it is used as a mid-layer if conditions are very cold.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If still stiff, a small amount of graphite from a pencil or a specific zipper lubricant can be applied to the teeth.
Pilling on the fabric surface
Pilling is a common occurrence with fleece. You can use a fabric shaver to carefully remove any pills for a smoother appearance. Avoid abrasive actions when washing and drying.
